encrypted_password = "your_encrypted_password" decrypted_password = decrypt_password5(encrypted_password) print(decrypted_password)

In the late 1990s, Cisco introduced Type 5 (often called "secret") to replace the embarrassingly weak Type 7 (Vigenère cipher). Type 7 passwords can be decrypted instantly with a simple tool. Type 5 was different. It used MD5 + a 4-byte salt. The goal? Make offline brute-force attacks slow enough to be impractical.

Cisco Type 5 uses hashing. Therefore, true "decryption" is impossible. The only way to recover the password is through (brute force or dictionary attacks) and verifying the output.

But "secure" is a moving target.
