From here, we can use a program to crack the MD5 hash I have used Http://Hx5rVt7rPNoS4wqbXKX7m0 And this is our MD5 hash $1 $ Tells us that yes, it really is a SALTed MD5 password for example:Įnable secret 5$1 $ mERr $ hx5rVt7rPNoS4wqbXKX7m0Įnable secret 5 This tells us that the password is an MD5 SALTed password. Well, I managed to find this information out by phoning Cisco directly, and since most of the information on this subject seems to be either plain wrong or incomprehensible rubbish spouted by people with no idea what checking up on facts or cross referencing is, I 've got decided to share my knowledge here:Ĭisco type 5 passwords are based on FREEBSD's MD5 function with a SALT encoded ded to make life harder however, as a typical type 5 password also encoded des the SALT, it does tend to defeat the purpose of SALTing values. UPDATE: See bottom of post for a way to run MD5 cracking on Linux Update #2: This article has been updated over at
