Back in August, the folks at Sipera’s VIPER Lab released a free test tool, XTest, that tests how well (or not) 802.1X with EAP-MD5 protects IP phones and the overall VoIP infrastructure. You can get it at http://xtest.sourceforge.net/.

(And yes, I’ve been meaning to write about this since back in August…. and was intending to write a more thorough review. Perhaps I will at some point, but for now I thought I’d mention the tool’s availability.)
