Hi The enable password is encrypted only if service "password encryption" is used. Same with the vty password. The enable secret password is encrypted with a hash algorithm even if the "service password encryption" is not being used. As far as I can recall, the algorithm is run locally, and as such should not be able to break with external programs.
