Possible hi-jacking of ospf chain.

[Nikolaj <lorddoskias () gmail com>]

Hello,


Happy New Year to everyone, that's first. :)

I'm observing the traffic flow in my network and I see some strange 
behavior with the OSPF packets. All of them contain plain-text password. 
 I was wondering whether it was possible to join the OSPF chain and 
route  the traffic to /dev/null let's say and thus render the network 
traffic unavailable? Or what can be done with this password? It's in the 
OSPF LS Acknowledge and OSPF Hello packet.
