Backup archives locked with a password? Cant access compressed archives from the
last year? Unlock password-protected ZIP, RAR, ACE and ARJ archives quickly and
efficiently!

Advanced Archive Password Recovery recovers passwords and removes protection from
plain and self-extracting archives created with all versions of PKZip, WinZip, RAR,
WinRAR and compatible products in their GUI and command-line incarnations. Latest
implementations of AES encryption and the two-gigabyte archives are supported.

Remember something about the password? Great! Advanced Archive Password Recovery
will use every bit of information about the password for even faster recovery.
Totally blank about it? No problem! Advanced Archive Password Recovery will attempt
dictionary and brute-force attacks completely automatically. Have just a single
file from the encrypted archive? Unlock the entire thing and decrypt all files in
minutes no matter how long and complex the password was thanks to the known-
plaintext attack!

Did you know that not all archives are equally protected? Early versions WinZip had
a weakness in the implementation of their encryption scheme, allowing Advanced
Archive Password Recovery to unlock archives created by WinZip 8.0 and earlier
versions in under one hour guaranteed if there are 5 or more files in the
archive.

The dictionary attack takes care of passwords based on words in a human language,
while the brute force attack can unlock your archives if everything else fails. The
intuitive user interface allows specifying a variety of masks and attacks, while
the highly-optimized low-level code ensures the best performance and the quickest
recovery of the most complex passwords.

Low-level optimization leads to password recovery speed of millions passwords a

second. Running Advanced Archive Password Recovery in background utilizes the idle
CPU cycles without affecting your regular work. Stop and resume the recovery at any
time to make the recovery process even less obtrusive.
