No I'm not gonna DoS their network...
I want to determine the strength of the password used on their main switch as the client has requested.

I don't want to go in a discussion on what should be done and what not......
That's for the client to decide...

The issue is: I need to determine if it is a raesonable password without them giving me the password...
How can I determine this if I cannot throw a password cracking tool against it?
