RE: [SAGE] sniffing switched nets

[ARichardson@MICROS.COM]

  I saw a wip on something similar (sniffing the wireless network
at USENIX in San Diego a couple years ago).  The information used
to be at http://monkey.org/~dugsong but the website isn't up due
to some censoring or something the last time I checked. 
  You might be able to email him and get some pointers from him.

Subject: [SAGE] sniffing switched nets

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.
