NAME

Cisco::Hash - De- and encrypts Cisco type 7 hashes

SYNOPSIS

use Cisco::Hash qw(decrypt encrypt usage);

print encrypt('cisco', 15); # will produce 1511021F0725

print decrypt('1511021F0725'); # will produce cisco print decrypt(encrypt('cisco', 15)); # as will this too

usage; # prints information about the module

DESCRIPTION

This Module decrypts all kind of Cisco encrypted hashes also referred to as type 7 passwords. Further you can encrypt any given string into a encrypted hash that will be accepted by any Cisco device as an encrypted type 7 password.

METHODS

decrypt(encrypted_hash)

Paste the encrypted hash without any preceding information.

Exmaple: "decrypt('1511021F0725'); # Will return 'cisco'"

encrypt(passphrase, offset)

You can define any passphrase you like to encrpyt into a encrypted hash. Altough it seems that Cisco devices strip of all characters above the 224th position.

The offset describes at which position of the translate mask encryption should be startet. Due to the length of the mask (which is 53) allowed values are 0 to 52 (decimal).

Example: "encrypt('cisco', 15); # will return '1511021F0725'"

usage

Usage will give hints on how to use the methods provided by this module.
