I am in the middle od preparing slides for security awareness
presentation amongst IT staff (network admins/system/DBAs) etc.

Security awareness is quite low amongst these guys and they seem to
believe that the way have done it all these years, can continue all the
remaining years too.

Plan is, to create password hack using Ophcrack and run it during
presentation. What else can I do to create real time engaging
presentation so that these guys might sit up and take notice. How about
doing a pen test on databases?

Anyone has any ideas to make this presentation to largely IT technical
staff...as engaging as possible?
