What about using Cain/Abel for this process... If you are in a position to
see broadcast network traffic (nice that someone still has a hubbed network
that you can snoop on) or don't mind doing a little arp poisoning and acting
as the router for a while, you will be able to run it in promiscuious
mode... I usually run this in the background on my windows box while I snoop
around doing recon work... It has the ability to snoop all kinds of clear
text passwords, telnet, SMB, proxy, etc and run the arp spoofing for you....

That being said if you can replay the Ethereal session to a small hub, once
back at the home office, then fire up another machine on that same hub and
use cain/able to sort thru all the packets and find what you need... Dunno
if that's possible with Ethereal, but I bow to others superior knowledge of
packet capture playback...

Subject: extracting passwords from ethereal dump


I was on a assessment and decided to get some of the traffic moving along
the network. i got it using ethereal.
now i want a program (other than ettercap) that can take this dump and
extract the passwords.
It would be helpful if the program can tell me the source and destination as
well as the protocol in use for each detected password.

thanks in advance pen-testers :o)
