Hello,
I used wireshark to sniff communication between my radisu server and
the user-password attribute is encrypted
0000 3e ca 2d b0 97 2b b3 f9 0c e9 fc e7 e0 ed e9 fd
to test if this is strong enough I wanted to ask if there is a way
to decrypt
this user-password attribute since my radisu server is doign proxy
to other radius server.
actually my radius server is authenticating a WiFi captive portal
and is prosying requests upon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user attributes are stripped from domain and sent to proper radius
server
my question is how much is risky to have user-passsword attribute
travellign across
the network ? is the encryption applyed to the user-password strong
enough ?
I do not know the particular protocol that you are using, but, as far
as I know, mostly if the password is not transported as clear text,
it is transpotred as hash, see for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function
(As the above dump shows 16 bytes, it could be MD5. If it is, see for
example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5 )
thanks
Rick
