To decode use the command:

2. Choose the password from the list
3. Choose to display the password in a dialog or copy it to the clipboard

Details on the supported password types and how they are decoded are listed below.

Type 5

Type 5 passwords are salted MD5 hashes. They can be created using the openssl command:

openssl passwd -1 -salt SpMm password

Decoding is done using brute force with an included dictionary of the 10k most common passwords. This means that not all passwords can be broken and the speed of the command increases with out uncommon the password is.

The password dictionary source is SecLists 10k Most Common
