SAS password decryption

SAS is an analytics platform that is used for large scale data analytics. In these environments there are typically a lot of connections to external systems such as Oracle databases. The credentials can be encrypted using custom algorithms indicated by "SAS00X".

SAS encrypted passwords can be decrypted using the relevant Java libraries. - Note: import the required Java libraries

import com.sas.util.SasPasswordString;
import com.sas.util.SasPasswordEncodingException;

public class MyClass {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
      try{
      String decoded = SasPasswordString.decode("{sas002}04B1B81951D063...6F14F4ECA8");
       System.out.println("Decoded pwd: " + decoded);
      }
      catch (SasPasswordEncodingException ex)
      {
          System.out.println(ex);
      }
    }
}

The actual Java libraries come from a GitHub project https://github.com/sassoftware/saspy/ that uses these to implement a Python SAS client. Look for the relevant libraries under blob/main/saspy/java/iomclient/sas.core.jar.
