Moscow, Russia (Issues Wire / PRWEB) February 21, 2008 -- ElcomSoft Co.Ltd. has released Advanced Office Password Breaker (AOPB) v. 2.0, an application that makes it easy to gain access to Microsoft(R) Word(R) password-protected documents that have been accidentally or purposefully password protected. The software is used by information technology support administrators, business managers, and law enforcement officials to protect their organizations from the perils of losing access to critical documents.
Advanced Office Password Breaker
In addition to the key recovery technique, Advanced Office Password Breaker uses the company's "rainbow attack" subsystem. The enterprise version of AOPB is shipped with a DVD that contains special pre-computed hash tables that will allow you to decrypt an estimated 99.5 percent of Word documents in just minutes instead of days, even on slow computers. By pre-computing these hash tables, and providing them on a DVD or a 4-Gigabyte thumb drive, AOPB makes short work of password-protected Word documents that use 40-bit encryption.
The vast majority of Word documents can be opened in minutes, because most of them use 40-bit encryption. In Office 97 and Office 2000, 40-bit encryption was the strongest available. While Office XP, Office 2003 and Office 2007 offer stronger encryption regimens, few people use them. By using the older 40-bit encryption, business people maintain compatibility across all versions of Word, as well as compatibility with many software products that import Word documents. The default setting in Office XP and 2003 is 40-bit encryption, and most people leave that setting intact.
For the one document in 200 that cannot be decrypted in minutes by AOPB, recovery can take up to three days on a modern PC. In addition to being extremely fast, Advanced Office Password Breaker is very conservative of system resources. Unlike some resource-hogging applications bloated with extraneous features, AOPB is remarkably easy, very user-friendly, and comes with a wealth of customization options especially designed for encryption and PC forensics specialists.
Advanced Office Password Breaker Enterprise costs $399(US) for a single-user license and includes the 4-Gigabyte library of pre-computed hash tables, as well as express delivery worldwide. Professional and Standard versions, with reduced feature sets, are available at $199 and $99 respectively. A trial version is also available, without charge. AOPB v. 2.0 runs under Windows 2000/XP/Vista/2003/2008.
