checking for password strength in NG/AI and NGx Administrators Hi All, I've been tasked to do a security audit for all of our firewall Administrators. One of the tasks is to audit the password strength anyone who can log into the Provider-1 and CMAs regardless of privileges. Anyway, I have access to the $MDSDIR/conf/mdsdb/cp-admins.C file and I can see all user accounts in here and the password is encrypted. I would like to run this password through a some kind of password cracker and see how strong these passwords are because I can create a P-1 supper user with a password of "123456", which is NOT good. This is what I see in the file: [root@Linux-lab mdsdb]# more cp-admins.C ( :version (6.08) : (admin :AdminInfo ( :chkpf_uid ("{4DD1C39A-D709-11DC-B0AE-0AFA61096565}") :ClassName (pv1_administrator) :table (pv1_administrators) :LastModified ( :Time ("Sat Feb 9 12:19:47 2008") :By (localhost) :From (Linux-lab) ) :icon ("Provider-1/pv1_admin") ) :GlobalSdbReadOnly (0) :SdbReadOnly (0) :administrator (true) :auth_method ("Old User Password") :connection_state (uninitialized) :customer_perms () :days (127) :fromhour ("00:00") :internal_password (6b846265fd68a762707f8102a2d4711f1e26f479) :msp_perm (80000000) :pv1_auth_server () :sic_name () :tohour ("23:59") :type (pv1_administrator) :vsx_provisioning (true) ) [root@Linux-lab mdsdb]# Anyone know I can crack the checkpoint internal password string, in this case, 6b846265fd68a762707f8102a2d4711f1e26f479 Any ideas? Thanks. |
