Decrypt FileZilla's stored password (knowing the master password)
Update: I just remembered my password, but I'd like to know it anyway.
Original:
I've stored a site in FileZilla's site manager and I use its password encryption with a master password (which I know) to store the sites password (no ssh keys (yet)). So there is no problem using sFTP with FileZilla itself. I want to know the stored password though, because I need it to log in on my hosting provider's admin application.
I already exported that site configuration into an XML file, the password field has the following format:
<Pass encoding="crypt" pubkey="someBase64">moreBase64</Pass>
As I know my master password and have a bunch of information in this XML (and I didn't set up any ssh keys), shouldn't it be possible to decrypt the stored password?
Available tooling: everything Ubuntu offers
PS: It's only a guess that the stuff in the XML file is base64 encoded
