Recovering Type 7 Passwords Without Web-Tools
I'm stealing this guy from a reader tip on the January edition of the Cisco Tech Newsletter. Apparently, the "keychain" configuration of a Cisco router supports a decrypt command that allows you to recover (break) the Type 7 encrypted passwords:
Router (config) #key chain LIGHT
Router (config-keychain) #key 718
Router (config-keychain-key) #key-string 7 11192616193C233850012E3D2B2725711D
Router (config-keychain-key) #do show key chain LIGHT Key-chain decrypt:
key 1 -- text "decrypted_password"
accept lifetime (always valid) - (always valid) [valid now]
send lifetime (always valid) - (always valid) [valid now]
It probably takes more time to do something like this than just paste the encrypted password into this Java applet...but you'd feel much cooler doing it this way :).

Jeremy...I'm trying to figure out what program you are using in your CBT Nugget videos to do the writing you do on your slides. Are you using a Tablet PC or are you using a Wacom Tablet with a certain program?
