There are several tools available to reverse the standard cisco password encryption. However, the output that you show for enable secret isn't the standard encrypted password; rather, it's the output of a one-way hash on the password (the whole point of enable secret). So, I'd say that the chances of cracking the enable secret without some serious horsepower are rather slim.
