Hello,


I have no idea of encryption methods, and I would like to know if


someone can guess what is the one used here:



root:$1$$34NPeumc9sBBCAw.oUaM80


or


root:$1$$D2fn4UZSslIGSoEkozGr70



where root: is the user name and rest is password.



These are taken from an embeded device linux passwd file.



To create a password the system uses the passwd command which in the


manual says that can use des, md5, sha1 algorithms.



I hope I'm not in a worng place.
