The programs we have presented here, were designed to crack integrated
encryption applications (such as Word has for example). At
times they take advantage of the weak protection process or explore
all possible password combinations with the assistance of Bruteforce.
This program can be abused to illegally access foreign, protected
documents. It can also represent a blessing to someone who has
forgotten his password and needs to access his documents.
By the way: Steganos encryption has remained uncracked since its
introduction on the market in 1996.
Counter measures:
- If you want to avoid forgetting your passwords, simply enter
them into a password
manager, which places them all onto an encrypted
list. Now you only have to remember one password.
- To really protect a document from being attacked by an unauthorized
person, one needs to use a legit encryption method as well as
a
secure password secure password.
-Steganos Security Suite
has all the needed functions:
Using these programs you can
- Crack protected MS Office files
