Agreed, although I didn't think of that, yet.

That is an interesting question: We have things like cisco2john.pl that
tries to de-obfuscate obfuscated passwords for cracking actual hashes.
That's a grey zone. Personally I'd be fine with including scripts (in
Jumbo) to de-obfuscate anything. I agree it's off-scope but it's also a
password seed issue, and as such it's totally viable.

I saw in Github.com that there is some discussions about this topic, for example "decrypt-msr-files-v2.py". Although I work with IT, I am not a developer anymore...so not familiar with new languages and technicks. As far as I could understand the code was written in python but I don't know this language. If it??s the case of installing a compilator and compile the code in my note I think I can do but I would apreciate some guidelines to do this job and finally access my external HD Samsung.

I thought to use a "brute force" software but have read that would need a dump archive and have no idea how to extract it from the HD software.
