Great snippet, thank you.

FYI I managed to produce a Python version of it, along with the version 4 support https://github.com/maaaaz/sqldeveloperpassworddecryptor

Cheers.

Worked ! Thanks for sharing

I am not getting how to execute this code..I am not so good at java..just let me know where to put my hexadecimal password
