Advanced RAR Password Recovery
Advanced RAR Password Recovery (or simply ARPR) can be used to recover lost or forgotten passwords for a RAR/WinRar archives. Unfortunately, there is no known method to extract the password from the compressed file; so the only available methods are brute-force and dictionary-based attacks. Please take in mind, however, that RAR encryption is VERY strong, and even on very fast CPUs it is possible to test not more than 2000 passwords per second. So brute-force attack is effective for short passwords only (up to 5 or 6 characters), and if the password is longer and dictionary attack didn't help -- you're out of luck. Our Review: A very useful utility for recovering lost passwords from RAR archives. ARPR has a very attractive, well designed interface where everything is in place and easy to find. It has three types of attacks for password searching and can be run in the background so you can carry on with your work. Simple but effective. If you're not sure how to use this, excellent documentation is provided. This new version can be up to 15% faster too!
