Most tools (and there isn't an awful lot of them anyway!) focus on
breaking MS-
CHAP(v1|v2). This seems to be an area where some significant papers were
published 
back in the days, but very few tools were actually implemented and
published openly!

If you have packet captures of a tunnel initiation, the username is in clear
text and you can use asleap (http://www.willhackforsushi.com/?page_id=41) to
crack the CHAP challenge/response.
