Anh, Sorry for my question about your test below. This program "john the ripper", is it working with dictionaries or not? Because my question is, if I use passwords like "12eldkvi", which are not in any dics, how long you need then to crack a MD5-password?

Remember this is an MD5 encrypted string ($1$Em47$DEsFfXv/Px6y/cEmjMwfE0). You know what, I take this string and use the program called "john the ripper" running on my linux box to crack it. This linux is a pentium 200MHz with 64MB of RAM. It takes exactly 5 minutes to crack this password. I would imagine for longer "enable secret" password, it takes longer but not as difficult as it sounds.
