This program was able to testing password really fast. On zip key passwarekit able to test up to 5million password/second on average Pentium IV system. but we'll find bit different result on Rar Key, because RAR using relatively strong encryption method so it slow down the proses to only 5-10 password per second.
every module has its own feature and function. Like in RAR key you will find option to setting brute-force and xievetm. and Zip Key had it exclusive Sure Zip feature.
Over all this software is easy to use. As example I’m using RAR key (module for cracking password for Winrar) All I have to do is just choose the file will be recovered, and with right setting just in one second I already got my password back.
I’ll give another example. I had a Archived file with winRAR that been protected by password, and I “accidentally”^^ don't know the password. But I still can remember that password only including number and has 5 character length. So form information I had before, I can open RAR key, and I change the setting so I can do more efisien recovery, back to the case, I go to symbol set on setting and checked "digit" dialog, the on password length I can choose start checking from 5 character length password. do the program won't wasting time checking password form 1 to 4 length password
Some method usually used for recover password:
Xieve™ | : | Passware developed Xieve™ optimization, which dramatically boosts Brute-Force attack speed by skipping password checks of nonsense combinations of characters. With 95% recovery rate for English words, password search speed is over 1,500,000,000 passwords per minute |
Brute-Force | : | Brute-Force attack finds passwords by checking all possible combinations of characters from the Symbol Set |
Dictionary | : | Dictionary attack tries thousands of words from dictionary files as possible passwords. Every word from dictionary is tested in a variety of modifications according to the current dictionary settings |
Note that not all module using exact same technique, because of structure of the file for recovery progress was not same. Like on windows key, the module will guide us to make a boot able disk or USB flash drive or floppy drive(if you still using it) so we can run the disk on booting and all we have to do is waiting and access for log in to the system we regain.
conclusion: this software have so plentiful of feature which become one of the best in recovery password category
tips: in order to keep your file can't be opened by irresponsibly guy, protect your file with 8 character length password of minimal, and using various combination of character (letter, digit, sysmbol) including "!~<>*%$#@" so cracking proses by some who want to peeping your file will take so long. but beware because this can be double edged sword when you FORGET the password.
Sorry if You can't really understand what I’ve been writing, because of my English not very well I don’t have so rich vocabulary and this is just part of my step to mastering English, so I’ll study more.. Thanks..
Have a nice day All.
