Do Passwords Provide True Protection?

Your Password it may not be as private as you think. Getting around the password protection in such a programs as Office and Quicken is often as simple, as click and crack. If you really want to make certain that your files are private, there are some apps that you can give them Fort Knox protection.

The Web is filled with tools, like ElcomSoft Products, www.elcomsoft.com, which can puzzle out the passwords. What the program apps does is first tries to open the file using a list of typical passwords; failing that, it attempts to figure out the passwords through brute force, testing every possible combination of numbers, letters, and special characters until it finds the right one. Another product, is on the web called www.passwordnow.com, can hack passwords for office files within 36 hours.

Of course, these companies offer this products at people who have forgotten their passwords. But the programs can also be of service to someone whose intentions aren't good. Also, I found this webpage called www.internals.com/utilities_main.htm, interesting website that allow you to download few utilities that can be helpful to troubleshoot your computer but also dangerous for otherones whose intentions are crueless.

As mention, the web is filled with many apps, just google it and find out how many software is out there.
