- NVIDIA GPU 5X to 8X GPU Acceleration for Classic Zip:
- Experimental studies of clock signals between CPU and GPU have led to a breakthrough in GPU acceleration on NVIDIA graphics cards with brute-force password attacks for Zip archives with classic encryption. Passcovery Suite and Accent ZIP Password Recovery are now 5-8 times faster when working with this file format.
- Speed of brute-force password attacks for Zip archives with classic encryption in Passcovery Suite
- For example, brute-force Zip password attacks on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics cards rose from 669 million passwords per second to 3 million 401 thousand per second – that’s more than five times faster.
- The speed of password searches also increased for TrueCrypt PBKDF2/Whirlpool /AES volumes (~ 30%) and Microsoft Office 2007-2019 (~ 4%).
- Data obtained from Passcovery Suite “Benchmark”.
- Clear password collisions for Microsoft Excel 97-2003 spreadsheets:
- Passcovery programs that are used to recover passwords for Microsoft Excel files instantly find passwords that coincide (known as collisions) for Microsoft Excel 97-2003 spreadsheets. In the new versions of Passcovery Suite, Accent OFFICE Password Recovery, and Accent EXCEL Password Recovery, passwords have become clearer and easier to copy. They’re always well-known words with no special characters.
