Cain and Abel can be used to crack that. You'll have to reduce yourself to using Windows though :) http://www.oxid.it/cain.html Password-5, unlike Password-7, is non reversible so you'll still need to brute force or dictionary attack it. I am not sure if there is a UNIX tool that will do it, I am sure there is somewhere. I'd rather use UNIX myself too. -J On 11/3/05, Unknown User <9nkn0wn () gmail com> wrote:
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
