    Althogh I've never personally tried it, I hear that you can run Jack the 
    Ripper on Cisco type 5 passwords by putting the hash into a file that 
    resembles /etc/shadow:
    
    <Begin JtR Passwd Shadow File>
    
    root:$1$6Je2$MurE4FTzoZjQShRW4Ui9H0:::::
    
    <End JtR Passwd Shadow File>
    
    Set that up, run Jack the Ripper on it, and it should work....  Hope 
    this helps.
