Advanced Archive Password Recovery is well aware of the various methods of password protection, and implements all the tricks that allow you to recover protected archives as quickly as possible.

Strong AES Encryption Support
Advanced Archive Password Recovery supports latest encryption technologies, including the complex AES encryption used in WinRAR and the recent versions of WinZip. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a strong cipher used as an encryption standard by the U.S. government, military and Special Forces. AES has been extensively analyzed by cryptography specialists worldwide, and is a proven international standard for strong data protection.

If nothing else helps, Advanced Archive Password Recovery performs a range of attacks on a protected archive in order to obtain the original password. Even then you’re not left without options! If you remember something about the password, that information will be used to speed up the recovery. Don’t take anything for a given! Just specifying your company security policy can increase the speed of the attack tenfold. Remember how many characters your password had, or that it was certainly longer than a certain length? Sure your password had numbers or letters, or both? Maybe you can recollect the first or the last character, or remember whether it was a letter or a number? Every little bit of extra information helps to speed up the recovery.

Dictionary Attack
Most passwords used by human beings are based on a single word or a combination of words from a certain language. Before reverting to the brute force attack, Advanced Archive Password Recovery performs a full-scaled comprehensive attack based on a dictionary. Use a small built-in dictionary or specify your own dictionaries no matter the language, and Advanced Archive Password Recovery will attempt single words and word combinations in different cases and variations.

Brute Force Attack
If you’re blank about the password, Advanced Archive Password Recovery will revert to the last resort: the brute force attack. Thanks to the highly optimized low-level code, Advanced Archive Password Recovery provides the best-in-class performance for the brute-force password recovery, attempting millions different password combinations per second on a typical ZIP archive with a modern CPU. As many people tend to choose short, simple passwords, the brute-force attack remains a viable option for password recovery.
