Hi all
not a long time ago, Cisco introduced the secret 4 (for enable secret and username), now this secret 4 no longer seems to be an option (within the 3650 switch with the IOS-XE 03.03.01SE. There are the hashes 8 (PBKDF2) and 9 (SCRYPT) instead. For me this is new, is there a documentation which describes the function of these two options 8 and 9? Why is the option 4 no longer availalbe, is there any security concerns? Should be AES-256 as as far as I know, this option is really secure.
Thank you
Markus
