Even though the p@$$words are relayed in plain text I think they cannot be collected by others unless they are broadcasted instead of directed to one IP. Damn it's not enough that we don't get desired speeds now those with shared packs have to deal with unethical hackers using their account and exceeding that limit.

Understanding and modifying programs without does fall under "Hacking"
Stealing p@$$words and causing financial loss to others falls under "Cracking"

Yes a customer can easily figure out whether he is being hacked if he has a time or data transfer limited connection. But it might take him a while to know the same if he has an unlimited connection like almost all of us here.

Actually the very basic design of an ethernet/LAN says that whatever packet one computer sends out is received by all the computers on the same LAN. But if the packet is not meant for them, they don't see what's inside it by default. This behaviour can be easily changed. On the other hand Broadcast packets are not only recieved by all the computers on the LAN but also processed by them and not dropped, according to default settings.
I think the LAN environment is a highly insecure environment when you don't know most of the people who are on it and there's no security policy thrust upon the whole LAN.

well if ya really want to get the damn p@$$word then use ARP poisoning , use it b\w the CTO server and all other PC's on netrk.but lemme tell ya this shuldnt be done for long as this can easily pull down the netwrk in 7-8 mins and people if they r as smart as surjeet can easily detect that something is goin wromg. but dont wrry he wont be able to trace to ya ,lolThere is only one way to trace it and i dont think most of us know bout it.
