The other cool palm app is the one that cracks the "encrypted" Cisco passwords. You feed the garbled version and it spits the plaintext of the password. As often as not someone has an old printout of the config laying around and it's a bunch easier than the password recovery rigmarole. Although from what I have seem at most customer sites the passwords are ridiculously simple and writing a dictionary attack loop in Kermit would probably break it in a matter of hours.
