Cisco Password Hasher

⚠️ Type-7 is not encryption

Cisco type-7 is a reversible XOR cipher, not a hash. Anyone with a type-7 string can decode it to plaintext in seconds. Use enable secret (type-5 or type-9) for privileged access. Type-7 is only acceptable for line passwords on isolated lab equipment.

When pasting hashed passwords into Cisco IOS, the router stores them as-is — no re-hashing occurs. If prompted for a password, enter the original plaintext, not the hash.
