Re: Generating awareness amongst IT staff

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.
