Older versions of IBM WebSphere encodes its passwords with a simple algorithm. These passwords are not encrypted and it has been known for long that decoding them is fairly simple. So far the presented methods did not always suit my needs, so I created yet another decoder. It is created in JavaScript for reasons I will describe below.
Decoding WebSphere passwords
unstash in Java
It has been ten years ago – 1999 – since the (in)famous unstash-script came out. It was a cryptic PERL script, which could read IBM’s stash files and deliver you the ‘encrypted’ password.
I was in need of the script, as I lost a password from a cryptocraphic key database and got stuck as I had no PERL installed. So I decided to create a Java-version of this script, because Java is always available when you are installing most IBM products. You may use it to your liking.
For an explanation how it works and a link to download the jar-file, please read on!
strelitzia.net
Bio
This is strelitzia.net, the personal domain of Jeroen Zomer.
A strelitzia is a special kind of flower. Although Jeroen doesn't have green fingers, his wife has. They both have some special, undefinable feelings for the strelitzia. It was chosen in the blink of an eye back in 2001 when only companies could register a .nl domain. Strelitzia.net somehow stuck.
Jeroen lives in The Netherlands, with his wife and beautiful daughter. He is trying to learn to play the guitar, loves cats and likes his BMW R1150GS motorcycle. He owns and operates many computers, running Windows, OSX, Linux and FreeBSD.
He specialized in IBM WebSphere and IBM security products. Jeroen works as a consultant and IT architect in internet technology and IT security related areas.
