XFD_PassWordFinder (c) 1996-97 Denis Unger
******************************************
Xfd_pwf is freeware.
Xfd_pwf needs the xfdmaster.library.
Why you need xfd_pwf ?
======================
If you have forgot a password for a crypted file with a XFD packer you can
use xfd_pwf for find that password.
Xfd_pwf is not fast but it works.
Xfd_pwf can use a dictionary or an character file for finding the correct password.
How works xfd_pwf ?
===================
SOURCE/A,DEST/A,DIC/K,PW/K,CHR/K,EVERYWORDS/N,MAXCHARS/N,FILETYPE/N
SOURCE: the source (crypted or crunched) file
DEST: the destination file
DIC: the dictionary with all the words
PW: the password for decrunching or from where the search should begin
CHR: the character file with all characters
EVERYWORDS: default: 1000; that means every 1000 checked words the last password will
be written to the command line
MAXCHARS: default: 5; that means only words up to 5 characters are used;
this is only useful for CHR mode
FILETYPE: if you know the filetype of the original file you can here set the decimal
number of the first 4 byte of your file
this is useful because there are passwords which don't correct decrypt the
file
Now any examples:
=================
xfd_pwf test1.xpk test1
> only decrunchs the file test1.xpk to the file test1
xfd_pwf test1.xpk test1 pw aaaa
> decrunchs the file test1.xpk to the file test1 with password aaaa
xfd_pwf test1.xpk test1 chr chr/numbers.chr
> checks all combinations with the characters from the character file numbers.chr
xfd_pwf test1.xpk test1 chr chr/numbers.chr filetype 1011
> see above and checks also if the decrypted file is from type 1011 (HEX: 3F3),
> that means the file must be an executable
Additional you can set a password from where the program should start.
E.g. xfd_pwf test1.xpk test1 chr chr/numbers.chr pw 50000
> now the search begins from password 50000
This is helpful if xfd_pwf finds a false password. That means the founded password
can decrunch the file but the destination file has not the correct datas.
Also you can switch off you computer and can search the other passwords on next day.
More dictionaries you can find on any ftp servers.
