ONLINE WORD PASSWORD RECOVERY: DOCUMENT PASSWORDS NOW GET HACKED INSTANTANEOUSLY The online Word password recovery service Password-Find.com (http://www.password-find.com/) introduces the new decrypting algorithm that removes passwords from Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 / 2010 documents in a matter of seconds. April 3, 2013 - Currently, the online Word password recovery service Password-Find.com removes passwords from about a half of documents saved in the Microsoft Office 2007 / 2010 format. (Service stats: http://www.password-find.com/password_cracking_statistic.htm). This portion only includes passwords that feature document encryption, i.e. passwords to open a document; the success rate for all other password types is always 100%. For documents that cannot be decrypted using the instant method, there is the service"s Find password function that employs cloud computing. Password recovery operations are performed by the high-powered data center that is claimed to recover passwords 1000 times faster than the average home computer. Thus, when it is used combined with the new instant decryption method, up to 80% of users" Office 2007 / 2010 documents can be unprotected during a 24-hour period (this is how long a Password-Find"s password recovery operation lasts). Obviously, with more than 3/4 of all documents being unlocked within 24 hours, the Microsoft Office 2007 / 2010 file encryption can hardly be regarded as a secure one. Previously, the Microsoft Office 97-2003 password protection experienced similar challenges as passwords could be instantaneously broken with the password recovery software. On account of the relatively short 40-bit key featured in the Office 97-2003 encryption, the protection can be bypassed by systematically checking all possible keys to a document. With modern computing equipment, it takes less than a day to recover a key. Following the introduction of the precomputation tables, most protected Office 97-2003 documents can be opened within a few minutes. However, the situation changed drastically with the release of Microsoft Office 2007. Since the implementation of the 128-bit key AES protection algorithm in Office 2007, brute-force attack-based password recovery was considered to be the only challenge to the security of password protected documents. Depending on password length and complexity parameters, a password recovery operation powered by the average home computer may take hundreds of thousands of years - therefore, brute-force attack may only pose a threat to a document protected with a weak password. With the new password removal method employed by Password-Find.com, it only takes several seconds to unprotect a Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document regardless of the password strength. ### http://www.password-find.com mailto:submit@password-find.com
