Hello,

I lost a password that is stashed on a stash file.

I found on the IHS readme page that the password in a stash file is not
encrypted, but rather altered in such a way "not to be recognized by a casual
observer".

How can I recover the password from the stash file?

The problem is that I have a certificate that is running on this keyfile, but
I can't alter the keyfile because I lost the password.

Best regards
Eduardo Poyart

Hi,

Just run this script under Perl environment

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# unstash.pl - "decrypt" IBM HTTP server stash files. No, really. They *are* this
pathetic.
#
# sploit (BoByRiTe) 1999, Major Malfunction, code by Ben Laurie, cos I dudn't dud
perly thing.

use strict;

die "Usage: $0 <stash file>\n" if $#ARGV != 0;

my $file=$ARGV[0];
open(F,$file) || die "Can't open $file: $!";

my $stash;
read F,$stash,1024;

my @unstash=map { $_^0xf5 } unpack("C*",$stash);

foreach my $c (@unstash) {
last if $c eq 0;
printf "%c",$c;
}
printf "\n";

Hi Olivier,

The script gives an error:

$ ./unstash.pl key.sth
Missing $ on loop variable at ./unstash.pl line 19.

What is wrong? My perl is 5.002.

Best regards

you've got a typo. verify all references to your loop variable have a "$"
in front of them.

Ah, no. Eduardo actually had the right idea, since he included his perl
version. The "for my" notation to get a local loop variable is not
available in 5.002 AFAIK.

Solution:
replace
for my $c
with
my $c;
for $c
