Gladly. Give me five seconds as SYS writing an AFTER LOGON trigger and I can render that a complete impossibility. I can force a single userid and password to only work with a single IP address using a single network protocol, using a single front-end appilcation, from a single named workstation. And lock them out of the database forever if they fail.

And sniffing on a network looking for Oracle passwords will get you something ... but it will not get you the passwords.
