I gewt the impression he is asking about tools to test the strength of passwrds for the users accounts for mail. And this is an area he should beable to search the archives for, since it seems to be covered here about 3-4 times a year, much like the comparative questions about various tools threads.

Thanks,

I'd recommend Nessus. It has plugins specifically for this type of thing and is definitely capable of a variety of brute force attacks.

Subject: Pentesting Openmail Web login

I am task with testing user accounts on our mail system. We currently have two systems Exchange, and OpenMail for Linux which is on the DMZ. We are interested in finding out how easy it might be for someone to guess the password of one or our users account.

And if the are sucessful what can the do on the linux box, with that username and password.

We have a main site with a link to the webmail system from there, ifi want to test this which tool might be the best for doing this since its a link and not the main page?

Thanks in advance
