The basic Hashcat command to crack a Type 5 hash is: cisco secret 5 password decrypt

While direct decryption of Type 5 passwords is not feasible, there are indirect methods that could potentially uncover the password. One such method is a brute-force attack, where an attacker attempts to try all possible combinations of characters until the correct password is found. Another method involves the use of precomputed tables known as rainbow tables, which contain hash values for common passwords.

MD5 is broken for – meaning we can find two different inputs that produce the same hash. That does not allow us to reverse a given hash to its original input. Collisions do not help password cracking. Another method involves the use of precomputed tables

When people talk about "decrypting" a Type 5 secret, they are actually talking about it. This is done through a "Guess and Check" method: Collisions do not help password cracking

Run:

A tool takes a guess (like "p@ssword123"), runs it through the same MD5 hashing algorithm, and compares the result to the hash in your config.
