Unlock Password-Protected Archives
Advanced Archive Password Recovery recovers protection passwords or
unlocks encrypted ZIP and RAR archives created with all versions of
popular archivers. Recover passwords for plain and self-extracting
archives created with PKZip and WinZip, RAR and WinRAR automatically or
with your assistance. Guaranteed unlocking of archives created with
WinZip 8.0 and earlier in under one hour is possible by exploiting an
implementation flaw.
Advanced Archive Password Recovery features ultimate compatibility
among the various types of archives, knows weaknesses of certain types
of protection, and provides best-in-class performance in unlocking all
types of archives.
Universal Compatibility
Supporting a wide range of compression and encryption algorithms, all
versions of popular archivers and multiple archive formats, Advanced
Archive Password Recovery comes as close to being a truly universal
recovery tool as no one else.
Advanced Archive Password Recovery unlocks archives compressed with
various methods from legacy Shrinking, Reducing, Imploding, and
Tokenizing to modern Inflating and recent WavPack, BZip2 and PPMd.
All Features and Benefits
Certain ZIP and ARJ archives can be
unlocked and decrypted in just minutes, provided that you have at least
one unprotected file from that archive at your discretion. It does not
matter how long and complex the password is! If you have a file from the
encrypted ZIP archive in your hands, the whole archive can be usually
unlocked in minutes by applying the known-plaintext attack. Similar ARJ
archives are unlocked instantly. Fast recovery available only in case of
“classical” encryption, not AES.
After carefully analyzing the algorithms
and implementations of password protection in different versions of
WinZip, ElcomSoft developed a work-around solution to allow quick
guaranteed decryption of certain ZIP archives instead of performing
lengthy attacks. If an encrypted ZIP archive was created with WinZip
version 8 or earlier, and if the archive contains 5 or more files,
Advanced Archive Password Recovery can unlock the archive and decrypt
its content – guaranteed! A modern PC takes just under one hour to
finish the job. Guaranteed recovery available only in case of
“classical” encryption, not AES.
Advanced Archive Password Recovery is well aware of the various
methods of password protection, and implements all the tricks that allow
you to recover protected archives as quickly as possible.
Advanced Archive Password Recovery
supports latest encryption technologies, including the complex AES
encryption used in WinRAR and the recent versions of WinZip. Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) is a strong cipher used as an encryption
standard by the U.S. government, military and Special Forces. AES has
been extensively analyzed by cryptography specialists worldwide, and is a
proven international standard for strong data protection.
If nothing else helps, Advanced Archive Password Recovery performs a
range of attacks on a protected archive in order to obtain the original
password. Even then you’re not left without options! If you remember
something about the password, that information will be used to speed up
the recovery. Don’t take anything for a given! Just specifying your
company security policy can increase the speed of the attack tenfold.
Remember how many characters your password had, or that it was certainly
longer than a certain length? Sure your password had numbers or
letters, or both? Maybe you can recollect the first or the last
character, or remember whether it was a letter or a number? Every little
bit of extra information helps to speed up the recovery.
Most passwords used by human beings are
based on a single word or a combination of words from a certain
language. Before reverting to the brute force attack, Advanced Archive
Password Recovery performs a full-scaled comprehensive attack based on a
dictionary. Use a small built-in dictionary or specify your own
dictionaries no matter the language, and Advanced Archive Password
Recovery will attempt single words and word combinations in different
cases and variations.
If you’re blank about the password,
Advanced Archive Password Recovery will revert to the last resort: the
brute force attack. Thanks to the highly optimized low-level code,
Advanced Archive Password Recovery provides the best-in-class
performance for the brute-force password recovery, attempting millions
different password combinations per second on a typical ZIP archive with
a modern CPU. As many people tend to choose short, simple passwords,
the brute-force attack remains a viable option for password recovery.
