Your implementation uses PLAINTEXT_LENGTH 125.
Is the max. length supported by Cisco documented somewhere, or can you
test it?
E.g., use a password of length 128, then try the 64 leading characters,
see if the hash differs or not, and find out the correct length applying
a binary search...

Also, can you make sure the algorithm really distinguishes upper and
lower case characters?

What about trying some non-ascii characters?
You specified FMT_8_BIT, so you should verify that those characters are
not "truncated" to 7 bits (or even converted to UTF-8).

Right.
The valid() implementation could need additional checks.
