Depend on your presentation time, you might using Live hacking demo or just
some reasonable explanation. The point is making all vulnerable systems are
able to hack or potentially hacked. Nessus, Wireshark, Metasploit, etc is
good for Live Demo but this not a 'Magic Tool'. Each hacking tools used
should has the underlying theory and applicable at what kind of holes.  Do
not use tools that you cannot explain how it works, that's make you miss
the awareness goal.

Break out Nessus and show them what a vulnerability scan looks like on
a test server. Then use Metasploit to show them how easy it is to
compromise the box. Try wireshark/favorite packet capture tool and
show them how much fun it is to capture unencrypted traffic
(preferably their password, which is probably one from a dictionary).
Then grab a clue banana then beat them over the head with it.

I am in the middle od preparing slides for security awareness
presentation amongst IT staff (network admins/system/DBAs) etc.

Security awareness is quite low amongst these guys and they seem to
believe that the way have done it all these years, can continue all the
remaining years too.

Plan is, to create password hack using Ophcrack and run it during
presentation. What else can I do to create real time engaging
presentation so that these guys might sit up and take notice. How about
doing a pen test on databases?

Anyone has any ideas to make this presentation to largely IT technical
staff...as engaging as possible?
