How Does Xmanager Encrypt password?

This repo will tell you how Xmanager encrypts password and offer a tool to reveal passwords encrypted by Xmanager.

1. What is Xmanager?

Xmanager is the market's leading PC X server that brings the power of X applications to a Windows environment.

With Xmanager, X applications installed on remote UNIX based machines run seamlessly with Windows application side by side.

It provides a powerful session management console, easy-to-use X application launcher, X server profile management tool, SSH module and a high performance PC X server for securely accessing a remote and virtualized UNIX and Linux environment.

You can find its official website here.

2. What does indicate that Xmanager encrypts password?

If you open Xshell or Xftp in Xmanager and then create a new session, you will find a window like:

After you input your username and password then click "Ok", Xshell and Xftp will save your configuration at

Product Session File Location
XShell 5 %userprofile%\Documents\NetSarang\Xshell\Sessions
XFtp 5 %userprofile%\Documents\NetSarang\Xftp\Sessions
XShell 6 %userprofile%\Documents\NetSarang Computer\6\Xshell\Sessions
XFtp 6 %userprofile%\Documents\NetSarang Computer\6\Xftp\Sessions

The following is a sample session file created by Xftp 5:

You can find there is a field named Password and the value of this field seems to be encoded by Base64 (Yes, you are right).

And there is another field named Version which indicates how passwords are encrypted.

4. How to use the sample code

Make sure that you have installed Python3.

Make sure that you have installed pypiwin32, pycryptodome module.

Usage:
    XShellCryptoHelper.py <-e | -d>
                          [-ver    ver_sting]
                          [-user   user_string]
                          [-sid    sid_string]
                          [-key    key_string]
                          <password_str | base64_str>

    <-e|-d>:                     Specify encryption(-e) or decryption(-d).

    [-ver ver_string]:           Specify version of session file.
                                 ver_string can be "5.1", "5.2", "6.0" and etc.
                                 If not specified, the latest version will be used.

    [-user user_string]:         Specify username. This parameter will be used if version > 5.2.
                                 If not specified, the current username will be used.

    [-sid sid_string]:           Specify SID. This parameter will be used if version >= 5.1.
                                 If not specified, the current user's SID will be used.

    [-key key_string]:           Specify user's master password.
                                 If specified, implicit "-ver 6.0"

    <password_str|base64_str>:   Plain password text or base64-encoded encrypted text.
Usage:

Example:

  1. Encrypt Password:

    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -e -ver 5.0 "This is a test"
    /6KaTrKwm0cmhr0yAWQ=
    
    $ XFtpCryptoHelper.py -e -ver 5.0 "This is a test"
    TPKSg0QQ6o795vnPIMs=
    
    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -e -ver 5.1 -sid S-1-5-21-917267712-1342860078-1792151419-512 "This is a test"
    hIMxIyQ3HbJsVIdbbunHvh7ZAvuN1NSJl8ZFL11+UJ+82+KAixa89O3OTAfRTg==
    
    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -e -ver 5.3 -user Administrator -sid S-1-5-21-917267712-1342860078-1792151419-512 "This is a test"
    zv21O1x43qRs3c5NckDHvh7ZAvuN1NSJl8ZFL11+UJ+82+KAixa89O3OTAfRTg==
    
    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -e -key 123123 "This is a test"
    Rrm3P3AL0iDV7nBbS2bHvh7ZAvuN1NSJl8ZFL11+UJ+82+KAixa89O3OTAfRTg==
    
  2. Decrypt Password:

    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -d -ver 5.0 /6KaTrKwm0cmhr0yAWQ=
    This is a test
    
    $ XFtpCryptoHelper.py -d -ver 5.0 TPKSg0QQ6o795vnPIMs=
    This is a test
    
    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -d -ver 5.1 -sid S-1-5-21-917267712-1342860078-1792151419-512 hIMxIyQ3HbJsVIdbbunHvh7ZAvuN1NSJl8ZFL11+UJ+82+KAixa89O3OTAfRTg==
    This is a test
    
    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -d -ver 5.3 -user Administrator -sid S-1-5-21-917267712-1342860078-1792151419-512 zv21O1x43qRs3c5NckDHvh7ZAvuN1NSJl8ZFL11+UJ+82+KAixa89O3OTAfRTg==
    This is a test
    
    $ XShellCryptoHelper.py -d -key 123123 Rrm3P3AL0iDV7nBbS2bHvh7ZAvuN1NSJl8ZFL11+UJ+82+KAixa89O3OTAfRTg==
