GuaWord 

Guaranteed Word 97/2000 Decryptor

New 1.1 version!

Purpose

This is an utility to decrypt Word 97/2000 files encrypted with password for opening. (Do not use it for decryption Word version prior to 97 (8.0) or French Word (any version) as for read-only and other passwords). In this case look at my other page to find necessary utility). 
Any file could be decrypted regardless of password used.
This is a command-line utility for DOS (DPMI-host needed), Windows 95/98/2000/NT.

Method

All known Word 97/2000 crackers are trying to determine right password by testing passwords (using brute-force or dictionary attacks). This method is good only for short and non-complex passwords. For example, the fastest program gives about 70.000 password/second on Pentium II/333. To find 8-character password consisting of lowercase Latin letters and digits you'll need about 450 days. but what if password is longer or consists of special characters or national symbols? 
(Un)fortunately, another method to decrypt files exists. Word 97/2000 uses strong enough encryption algorithm, but because of U.S. crypto export regulations key  length is only 40 bits. So, you need to test only 240 keys to decrypt your file with guarantee. GuaWord does it, and key testing will take about 70 days on the same Pentium II/333 PC. Within this time (and in average within the half of this time) ANY file, encrypted with ANY password (no matter what length of the password is or what language or symbols used, etc) can be decrypted.
Moreover, GuaWord offers distributed computing mechanism (via the shared directory) and you should divide the necessary time to the quantity of PCs you've got.

Some companies offer Word 97/2000 guaranteed cracking service. The average price for decrypting ONE file is about $250 and it takes 10 business days. This offer may be preferable to you if you've got neither time nor powerful computer(s).

Advantages of GuaWord are: 

  • 100% guarantee of decryption
  • Very high speed (optimized for Pentium II architecture)
  • Confidentiality (you crack your secret files, not someone from cracking service)
  • Search for file-independent key
  • Price
