Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a mistake in test answer or I'm misunderstanding something. Here is the question:
Which hashing algorithm was utilized bellow for the enable secret password:
enable secret 9 $9asdflajlsz.xc0231231.......(to long:))
Then answer says it's: SHA-256
Then they explain that answer: When the enable secret password has encoding type of 9 or 8, it is leveraging sha-256 as the algorithm to has the password. For the encoding type 9 the command is "enable algorithm-type scrypt secret <pwd>". For the encoding type 8 the command is "enable algorithm-type sha256 secret <pwd>".
Why the answer is not scrypt?
Also, following page would say 9 is for scrypt algorithm:
