The key features of ARPR are: - ARPR has a convenient and easy to use user interface; - ARPR works with one protected file at a time (multiple uses of ARPR is possibl e); - all compression methods are supported; - self-extracting archives are supported; - you can select the custom character set for "brute-force" attack (non-English characters are supported); - you can interrupt the program at any time. Resuming is supported; - ARPR can work in the background, using the CPU only when it is in an idle stat e; - ARPR can utilise either a customizable "brute-force" approach, or an effective dictionary-based approach. The different approaches can be used for all RAR typ es and compression methods using AES (Rijndael) 128-bit encryption, e.g., set th e password length (range) of the character set used to generate the passwords, a nd many other options; - A multilingual interface is provided. = Known bugs and limitations = - If the archive contains only one encrypted file and it is "stored" (without co mpression, just with encryption) -- the performance might be lower than expected , especially on large files, because decrypting the whole file is required. - For RAR archives created in versions 2.9 and 3.x, the recovery speed is extrem ely low (due to very strong encryption). - Some multi-volume archives are not supported = Contact information = Please send your suggestions and bug reports to support@elcomsoft.com (don't for get to mention what version of ARPR you're using).
