As above, your only real hope of cracking it is brute force or dictionary attacks. Have done this before with .rar files, and it does take a while. You need a very fast processor to make it hours rather than days (or days rather than weeks in some cases), and hope for a relatively short password of around less than 10 characters.
The only other success I've had is with torrent downloads. You'll often find on the site you got the torrent from, that people have added messages with the password in to the comments associated with the torrent. Also with certain video files I've downloaded, the password is often the website included in the file name. Failing that, googling the filename can sometimes come up with a strange website somewhere that has a password list.
The way 128bit encryption was explained to me was that 40bit was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. 128bit is like trying to find the same needle, but not being told which haystack it's in, from space. ____________________ - Yeah, you know the type, loud as a motorbike, wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 18 years, 40 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
