Hi I have recovered some cisco passwords that are encrypted using the secret 5 format. They look like this $1$Wgqc$sbb8R/2rtOhc7t86J5axj. The question is can i simply plug this into a standard unix type shadow file format and use john to crack. I've tried this but I'm not convinced that John is actually working. Its also incrediblly slow. Any other tools available to crack these types of passwords. Thanks
