I have many tools within my aresenal that I maintain in order for me to do
my daily tasks and duties protecting my network. I will test any tool that
I think I can benefit from, once tested, I will brief the powers that be,
and proceed to utilize my new found toy.
I have downloaded and updated my LC5 so many times using various
dictionaries, hashes, etc in order to keep the personnel where I work in
compliance with all my directive policies.

One word: "pirated software".
ok, so it's two words ;-)
I've seen enough cases where the evildoers were using lophtcrack or the
various commercial software/hardware keystroke loggers that you can buy.
Most of the time it's pirated stuff, but why not use the best you can
get/steal when you're a criminal? I'd say the "others" should be informed of
both risks, and need to be reminded that "most likely" does not really mean
anything. I wouldn't step on a plane that would "most likely" not crash..
