Viewing pre-shared keys

[m.reay]

Does anyone know how to view an Isakmp preshared key in a PIX config.

Displaying the config on the box shows asterisks where the key characters should be.

I have read that doing a write net to a tftp server should allow the key to be displayed however this doesn't seem to work.

I have tried this with PIX OS 6.3(3) and 6.3.(5) with no joy.

Thanks.

Hello,

I don't think you are able to enumerate the PSK in a pix config. I'd be very interested to hear if others have found a way. Hope that helps!

Correct, the only way to view your keys is to write your configs to a tftp server. Key's aren't display on the console, keys will be displayed on the file that's been written to your tftp server.
