Use of a custom password encoding algorithm in Streamsoft Prestiż software allows straightforward decoding of passwords using their encoded forms, which are stored in the application's database. One has to know the encoding algorithm, but it can be deduced by observing how password are transformed. This issue was fixed in 18.2.377 version of the software.
Obscuring a password with a trivial encoding does not protect the password.

They then use a rainbow table of pre-computed hash chains to attempt to look up the original password. Once the original password corresponding to the hash is obtained, the attacker uses the original password to gain access to the system.
