Cisco Password 7 Cracker

Last updated: 30-12-2025

This tool decrypts Cisco Type 7 passwords, which use a simple reversible encryption algorithm. Simply enter the encrypted password (starting with "7") and click "Decrypt Password" to reveal the plain text.

Note: Cisco Type 7 encryption is not secure and is easily reversible. This tool is for educational purposes and for network administrators who need to recover forgotten passwords on their own devices.

How Cisco Type 7 Encryption Works

Cisco Type 7 passwords are encrypted using a simple reversible algorithm:

  • The password is converted into hexadecimal bytes
  • Each byte is XORed with a repeating key from a predefined table
  • The first byte acts as a salt that determines the starting position in the key table
  • The algorithm is fully reversible, which is why Cisco Type 7 is considered insecure
Example Configuration:
enable secret 5 $1$mERr$z5c3pY1kUjE2Yx9a9V2Vd0
username admin password 7 0822455D0A16
Security Warning: Cisco Type 7 passwords should not be used in production environments. Use Type 5 (MD5) or Type 8 (PBKDF2) encryption instead.
