bypassing encryption password

[romanticcowboy]

im using Encriyptonclick for some files ,i encrypted some photos and videos my fiance made for me ,i lost the password , is there anyway or any program out there where i can bypass the password or at the very least something that will run thru diffrent password combinations

[rapier57]

Hmmm ... encrypting photos and videos your fiance made ... hmmm ... boggles the mind.

Anyway, you need to check the documentation for the software you are using. Depending on the approach used, a lost password often means that the data is no longer recoverable (short of going to the NSA). If the password or key is stored elsewhere on the hard drive and you didn't back it up, you might still be able to recover the data.

I wouldn't bring in third party tools until I thoroughly researched the software documentation, even contact the vendor/author first.

Of course, this all assumes that you knew the original password, and not just trying to get help breaking gf's codes. You wouldn't be trying to pulling our collective leg here?

Ask for copies?

Your problem is that you are using some weird application that uses God knows what algorithm and methodology. I doubt if there is anything out there that will help you, unless you know the details of the application and its functionality.

Sure, well joking aside, I am sure that you are aware that there are numerous encryption methodologies and security "systems" out there.

I guess your real question is how to find the password to the application, rather than crack the encryption? Now, as I have never heard of this application, and I doubt if anyone else here has, I don't have the vaguest idea how it works.

Again, if I had a hot fiancee, either the pictures would mean nothing to me, or I would be looking at them so often that I would NOT FORGET THE PASSWORD

Tell her that you "lost them in a reformat" and move on.

Not only have I never heard of this software...............neither has Google:

Your search - Encriyptonclick - did not match any documents.

:D

Ah! Thanks Morgana~

It uses exactly the same methodology as WinZip 9.0 and both are compatible with eachother. So, a tool that will recover WinZip 9.0 passwords should work with EncryptOnClick generated files as well.

Obviously it is up to the user to ensure that what they are doing is legal, but I am sure that the password recovery software will clearly state that as well.

;)

[rapier57]

MLF saves the day!

Yeah, if it is using that old, weak (WinZip 9) encryption, he could just go grab the nearest nine-year old to crack it.

[nihil]

Well it isn't "industrial strength" security for sure. I believe that it is to give some protection to data in transit which is why it compresses the file at the same time.

If you Google for WinZip, then search the results for "password recovery" you get 6.5 million hits, so I think that there are plenty of tools around. Its a bit like the MS Office "security" which is really only designed to protect against casual prying eyes. there are plenty of tools to recover those passwords as well.

:)

[rapier57]

Got that right. Nice of them in WinZip 10 to put in some real encryption, though. Have you checked that out? We're looking at it now.

[nihil]

Hi rapier~ ,

I must admit that I haven't looked at it in any sort of technical detail as I don't use compressed files very often.

I am something of a "market watcher" though, and have noticed the developments.

"Back in the day" there was WinZip and PKZip as the major contenders for commercial file compression applications. Hard drives were small and 3.5" floppies only held 720Kb. Zip files were more popular because of these storage constraints.

Later, the early internet over slow dial-up modems made them popular as well.

Nowadays there are far more compression tools around, and a number of them are free. Also we have DVD, CD and USB drives as transportable media. A lot of people have broadband, and even dial-up is 56.6. This has tended to reduce the attractiveness of file compression, just as the 3.5" floppy is waning in usage.

So, I would expect the providers of commercial compression software to start adding value to their products, basically they will have to if they are to survive.

Please let me know what you think of 10.0

Thank you everyone, i deleted the files im gonna help her tonight with making new ones :D

ha ha. The BEST possible outcome of this was to 'lose' said files. That cracks me up

[nihil]

That's a shame, I was kinda hoping you would prove or disprove my theory regarding Winzip 9.0, still, the software is free so I can try it myself...............just give it a simple password like God and see if the POC is correct.

You obviously have better things to do? :umph:

:D

[romanticcowboy]

my fiance just told me to delete them ,were gonna make new ones, i'm going to do an test . im going to encrypt some files and see if i can find a program to crack the enycrption , and ill let you guys know the results in here

[romanticcowboy]

after looking thru google, all i could find were tools to recover passwords for zip files themselves ,when encryptonclick encryts a file it saves it as an eoc file , ill keep looking ,im stubbron ,not gonna give up just yet

[wildred]

Try renaming the file to .zip then run one of the various Winzip cracking programs...who knows...it may work.
