Subject: Re: Cisco - Password type 4 - SHA256

Hi Vlatko,

Do you have the possibility of setting an own type-4 password? If so,
you could also calculate the SHA256 hash of the password you used and
compare this with Cisco's value. If both are equal, you can assume
that Cisco uses a simple SHA256.

Would you be happy the share your results here?

Regards, Jan
