Hi
The enable password is encrypted only if service password encryption is
used. Same with the vty password.
The enable secret password is encrypted with a hash algorithm even if the
service password encryption is not being used. As far as I can recall, the
algorithm is run locally, and as such
If you mean the enable secret, no there isn't any program and you can't
decrypt it.

Hi.. My network tool (solarwind) can only decrypte the 7 series cisco
password but it can't decrypte the secret password? Do you know any
program can decrypte it?
Besides, do u know we can only
This comes up periodically, and it's not true that the enable secret can't
be broken.
The enable secret can be cracked with the use of any one of the MD5 crack
tools out there. Simple passwords go quickly, but complex passwords can
take a VERY long time, even with a powerful machine.
Anyway,
Cisco uses MD5 to encrypt the password so like every other encrypted
password(UNIX, NT, etc) it is crackable. The trick is getting the encrypted
string from your sh run config.Plug that into a cracker and it will eventual
crack the password by doing the encryption algorithm with a dictionary
Kenny The cisco passwords encrypted using Service Password Encryption
(type 7) use an encrytion scheme known as Vigenier. Its been around since
the 1600 (the date not the router), basically its a replacement algorithm
and is easily cracked. The cisco secret is an MD5 digest of your password
