Advanced RAR Password Recovery 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 instantly; 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 a
few thousand 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.
* The program has a convenient user interface
* The program can work with archives containing only one
encrypted file
* All compression methods are supported
* Self-extracting archives are supported
* The program is customizable: you can set the password length
(or length range), the character set to be used to generate the
passwords, and a lot of other options
* You can select the custom character set for brute-force attack
(non-English characters are supported)
* Dictionary-based attack is available
* The "brute-force with mask" attack is available
* No special virtual memory requirements
* You can interrupt the program at any time, and restart from the
same point later
* The program can work in the background, using the CPU only
when it is in idle state
