Look at dsniff - it does precisely what you want, except that it only
works (that I'm aware of) directly on the wire (i.e. it won't read
Snort- or tcpdump- generated files, it will only look at live
traffic).

Howdy,
      I know this request is going to sound really devious, but I
assure you my
intentions are completely white-hat.
      I'd like to see how many people are using plain text passwords
on my
network.  A few protocols that come to mind are telnet and pop3.
Obviously,
I want to teach them the wonder that is ssh.  I was thinking
something like:

content:"PASS";

      Has anyone gone about this before?
