    As mentioned in the email from Mark Ng, L0phtcrack will be your tool. One of
    the scenario's you could try is to take a laptop, install l0phtcrack on it
    and put it with a valid ip-adress in the network (most of the networks do
    have dhcp, so that won't be the hardest).
    Next you have to setup L0phtcrack in "listening/sniffing" mode. Also create
    a shared directory on this machine.
    From your station you will send around an email which contains an URL (which
    will connect towards the share). Make the email attractive so people are
    triggered to click. When clicking to the URL,Windows will notice that it's a
    Share and sends the NTLM hashes.

    If the network is switched, you have to use a combination of the tool
    Ettercap and later on L0phtcrack to decrpt the passwords. You can use
    Ettercap the spoof (be carefull) the switch, so all ports can be sniffed.
    Choose for storing the sniffed traffic towards a file. This file can later
    on be analyzed by L0phtcrack.
