I believe you can do this by using trace files - and apparently can take
a lot less :-)

Subject: Funny sort of question re sys password
Someone at work maintains that it takes them 10 minutes to
break the Oracle SYS password security.
And the Sun boof-head (a different person and I use the
term loosely...) assures me he's capable of doing so any time
he wants.
Now, I've been away from this security stuff for a year or so and
I may well be wrong here, but breaking the password security
means cracking the Oracle encryption. While this may be possible,
I can't believe it only takes 10 minutes?
Wouldn't it rather be a case of social engineering at work?
Or just a plain vanilla "change_on_install" case?
<says he who used to change it to "changed",
with the obvious funny consequences>
