display current-configuration | include password On older firmware, if you have console access but your password is shown in cipher, you can set a new one:
def decrypt(cipher): if cipher.startswith('%^%#') and cipher.endswith('%^%'): cipher = cipher[4:-3] res = [] for i, ch in enumerate(cipher.encode()): res.append(ch ^ KEY[i % len(KEY)]) return bytes(res).decode('ascii', errors='ignore')
return bytes(plaintext).decode('ascii', errors='ignore') decrypt huawei password cipher
In this article, we will break down exactly what the Huawei cipher is, how to back to plaintext, the legal and ethical boundaries, and the tools required. Part 1: What Is the Huawei "Cipher" Format? When you export a Huawei device configuration using commands like display current-configuration , you often see lines such as:
if == ' main ': print(decrypt(sys.argv[1])) Try huawei-cipher-tool by scarvell on GitHub, which includes
To use:
for i, ch in enumerate(cipher_text.encode()): plaintext.append(ch ^ key_stream[i % len(key_stream)]) Try huawei-cipher-tool by scarvell on GitHub
python3 decrypt.py "%^%#H`&~4#J;2J6!9l5X;$(L,;Q&.aV&<Z#V%^%" If the output is garbled, the key stream is different. Try huawei-cipher-tool by scarvell on GitHub, which includes VRP5, VRP8, and ONT variants. Some Huawei devices allow password decryption via display password-control configuration or by dumping the password in clear using:
