Extreme Networks password hash

Hi! I'm interested in finding out what kind of hash Extremeware (v 7.7) uses to encrypt user passwords. The reason is that I'm trying to find out how to perform a (dictionary or bruteforce) password attack against an Extreme Networks switch. I could use Medusa or THC-Hydra to perform a remote attack, but I would like to avoid it if it's not necessary because of the performance drawbacks. I've read through the documentation provided by Extreme, but found nothing. I know that to set up the admin account with an empty password, and create an account "user", also with an empty password, the following configuration is used: --------------------------------------- configure account admin encrypted 452tVo$nEbHpfJFTUGyBrqmtY8q3. 452tVo$nEbHpfJFTUGyBrqmtY8q3. create account user "user" encrypted "yN/tVo$ARBcY8KlQBq.lvJg2nc5F." -------------------------------------- As these commands contain different hashes, even though both users are given emtpy passwords, I guess the hash is salted. From the length I also guess that it's SHA224, but that is a complete guess as I really have no idea. Does anyone know about the kind of hash used, or recognize the ones in the configuration? If you do, would you happen to know any tool that can perform an attack against this kind of hash? Cheers, Alexander
