Originally developed to decrypt the "enc_GroupPwd" variable in PCF files. This tool has evolved and can also decode Cisco type 7 passwords and bruteforce Cisco type 5 passwords (using dictionary attacks).
This tool is a Python port of Maurice Massar's tool (https://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/soft/cisco-decrypt.c)
The PCF files (.pcf) contain the VPN informations. They are generated by the Cisco VPN Client when you add a VPN profile. Those profiles contain, among other data, the IP, the group name and the VPN shared secret.
Here is an example of a PCF file:
[main]
Description=
Host=192.168.1.1
AuthType=1
GroupName=group_test
GroupPwd=
enc_GroupPwd=886E2FC74BFCD8B6FAF47784C386A50D0C1A5D0528D1E682B7EBAB6B2E91E792E389914

EnableISPConnect=0
[...]
PeerTimeout=90
EnableLocalLAN=0This tool requires the pyCrypto and passlib modules.
$ pip install pyCrypto passlibOR
$ pip install -r requirements.txtNote: If you are using Microsoft Windows, pyCrypto could requires Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0.
