Re: [IMail Forum] OT reading FTP login attempts

[Matt]

If you have the old server data still intact, you can dump the encrypted passwords to a file and run L0pht on it.  Unless the passwords use non-alphanumeric characters, L0pht can figure this stuff out in minutes typically, even seconds.  It's best to get the dump of the passwords that are broken up into 8 character chunks for backwards compatibility.  I can't remember what that is, but some research on L0pht will show you how this is done.

I have no information about the preliminarily existing logins (username/password)   The only thing I immagine I can do (except reconfiguring any single webcam) is to set up the new server and "listen" what login attempts are comming.   Any idea how to visualize the password transmitted from the webcams? Should I install something like a password sniffer (any reccomandations?) or is there out a simple ftp server that allows to see the login attempts with username AND password?   Markus     -- ===================================================== MailPure custom filters for Declude JunkMail Pro. http://www.mailpure.com/software/ =====================================================
