I recently used Passware Kit Forensic and was really impressed with how easy it was to use. It was able to quickly retrieve passwords for websites, networks, cloud storage, email clients and a number of files, including Word, Excel, Outlook, Access and Lotus Notes documents. I was able to apply predefined settings or configure custom attacks, and choose among Instant Recovery and fast or medium Brute-Force methods. All in all, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it.
While most password recovery tools aim at cracking the password that encrypts your most valuable files, Passware Kit Forensic goes beyond that and claims to be capable of recovering the passwords not only of encrypted disks, but also websites, e-mail servers, network connections or your mobile and cloud backups, and even of resetting your Windows administrator password.
Forensic is the highest level among the different versions available for this tool. They go from Kit Basic to Forensic with Standard, Standard Plus, and Business in between. The main difference among versions is in the amount of file types or objects that the program can decrypt, from around 50 in the Basic edition to more than 280 file formats in the Forensic version, together with access to archives (ZIP, 7Z, RAR, etc.), bitcoin wallets, FDE decryption, Password Exchange, etc. As expected, those differences also reflect on the price tag – Kit Forensic’s is more than 20 times higher than that of Kit Basic. more
