This was something I got from a Boson Network Simulator simulating a Cisco 2811 (2800 series) router.
the running config shows this:
Enable secret 5 $sdf$6978yhg$jnb76sd
as I don't actually have a cisco device, I have to use emulators and simulators to learn the gear. but if this is true that cisco hashes dont start with $sdf$, then that is very interesting - perhaps this is the simulator? I'll check. i'll try running a similar 2800 device IOS on GNS3 instead of Boson tomorrow, and see if I can get the same hash from a different emulator.
on the other hand, if my hash here isn't a typical cisco MD5 hash, then what does it most resemble? I've tried running most every config in hashcat and every one tells me that the hash string isn't of a proper length.
