Re: Password Audit tools

Thanks everyone for your responses...

I guess I've been missing large parts of nessus's abilities!

I've installed 2.2.2a and Hydra... now I just need to figure out how to 
get them to work together.

Has anyone looked at the new nessus book available on Amazon?  Just 
wondering if it would be helpful.
