Cain and Abel (www.oxid.it) will do the trick but the downside is abel
is technically a virus (and will be identified as one). Also, it needs
to be installed on your (windows) servers to work correctly.

So I guess what I'm saying is, I don't have any good advice for you.

Subject: Password Auditing

Can anyone recommend a good password auditing tool. Basically I want to
identify weak passwords on my servers (Windows, Linux, Unix).
Ideally this would be done by a tool that could remotely fetch the local
password database and then attempt to brute force the passwords and
prepare a report in a central location.

Any suggestions?
