    93 billion

    I've been running a password cracker for the past twenty-four hours to unlock a zip file my late father-in-law left me. It is now up to 93 billion combinations, and running seven letter/number passwords.

    There's only one leetle problem. I didn't switch on the button that includes punctuation as a variable, and I'm pretty sure he was using commas.

    Better be an interesting read.

    Cheers
    Simon

    good luck mate I hope you get it !


    Brute force is the longest road, better to get a spare computer chuck it in a room out the way and forget about it.

    What I mean is that a "password Cracker" takes a long time. It's useful if you have a second computer while that one crunches numbers.

    a "brute force" attack refers to building a database of passwords to try against a locked file or login account.
    It should work eventually but like I mentioned it is a long road, ie it takes a long time.

    There is software that specialise in resetting passwords for specific items eg word, excel, NT, XP etc these are much faster if you can find one as it just resets the password instead of trying to crack it.
