Cisco Type 7 based secrets are a very poor and legacy way of storing the password.

Enable Secret 5 Decoder Code The Cisco

Anyone with access to the systems running configuration will be able to easily decode the Cisco Type 7 value.

A type 7 password is not actually encrypted at all it is simply encoded.

The fact that it is encoded means it can be decoded very easily.

From type 0 which is password in plain text up to the latest type 8 and type 9 Cisco password storage types.

You could use the form above to quickly decode the type 7 password.

Even though it was encrypted using SHA256 there was no salt used leaving it vulnerable to brute force attacks.

If there are other hash algorithms that Cisco currently or has historically used, then Id like to have the code for those algorithms as well.

Algorithm is explained here: passlib.readthedocs.ioenstablelib Format Algorithm section.

If you have the opportunity to test, Id be interested to know your results.

By default, without the -salt salt argument, openssl will generate an 8-character salt.

Enable Secret 5 Decoder Cracked And They

Type 7 is easily cracked and they even have scripts on websites for it.

Type 5 password is a MD5 based algorithm (but I cant tell you how to compute it, sorry).

Type 7 that is used when you do a enable password is a well know reversible algorithm.
