A user on your Windows 2000 network has discovered that he can use L0phtcrack to sniff the SMB exchanges which carry user logons. The user is plugged into a hub with 23 other systems.
However, he is unable to capture any logons though he knows that other users are logging in.
What do you think is the most likely reason behind this?

I'm leaning towards option C, but I’m not entirely confident. I thought Windows logons were vulnerable, but maybe not in this case?

I feel like I saw a question similar to this in practice, and it mentioned that Windows logons can be sniffed under certain conditions.

I think a NIDS could definitely be blocking the traffic, but I also recall something about Kerberos being involved in Windows networks.

I remember studying that L0phtcrack is primarily used for cracking passwords, but I'm not sure if it can sniff SMB logons directly.

Okay, let's see. The question mentions a Virtual Private Database (VPD) policy, so I'm guessing the arguments have something to do with that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Reusing workflows seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure if that's considered a best practice. I'll have to think through the other options carefully.

I've seen similar scenarios where monitoring usage was suggested. It might help to identify who's misusing the postage.
