[SAGE] sniffing switched nets

["David R. Linn" <drl@vuse.vanderbilt.edu>]

A few meetings ago (perhaps the ATC in San Diego), I seem to recall
that some attendees demonstrated that you can sniff switched nets by
collecting and then posting a set of passwords that they had captured
from the switched TTY room net.  I believe that they wrote up their
technique, maybe for a WIP, maybe for a later conference.

The fellow teaching our new InfoSec class was asking me for ideas of
things to cover and I mentioned this incident in the context of
convincing people to use crypto for anything they want secured.  He
asked me for a pointer and a quick look at the USENIX site didn't
provide me with one so I'm turning to the collective.

If this is not all a sign of premature senility, could someone point
me at that writeup.
