Porting Python code to VB?

**DISCLAIMER** THIS IS NOT FOR HACKING. TO GET THIS FAR, YOU ALREADY HAVE DEEP ACCESS TO LIVE EQUIPMENT.

The only point of Cisco Type 7 or Juniper Type $9$ is to obfuscate text, to prevent "over the shoulder" reading.

I already have a VB Script to Decode Cisco Type 7 passwords.

But, I now need to decode Juniper $9$ passwords.
AGAIN: ONCE I HAVE A JUNIPER $9$ PASSWORD, I AM DEEP INTO THE CONFIGURATION DATA OF MY EQUIPMENT. I AM NOT HACKING ANYTHING.

Here is a link to this type of decode done in Python Script (which I don't know how to read):
https://github.com/mhite/junosdecode...junosdecode.py

So, here is my question... Can someone point me some VB to decode $9$ (without accusing me of hacking)?

There are many websites where I can paste a $9$ string and it will return the Decoded text. I don't want to resort to such external means, even though any plaintext passwords would be completely isolated from their context.

So, looks like it's time to learn python so I can port it to VB.

Python apparently is good for data analysis.
I flirted with it for a while, but the indentation stuff is a complete switch off for me.
Do not even think VB, it might be dead in a couple of years time.

Thank you so much.

This is tested and works exactly as hoped. I have my own little OCD Style quirks. So, following is what I did to it.

You taught me an awesome trick in this. Loading an array of arrays. *boggle* I didn't know you could do that.

I still have no idea how this works the Vigenère cipher, but it sure does!
