How It Works
Step 1: Upload Your File
Upload your encrypted file (ZIP, RAR or PDF). We support most common file formats and encryption types. During upload, our system automatically analyzes the file to detect the encryption type, strength, and difficulty level. This analysis determines your pricing tier (Easy/Medium/Hard) and recommended attack methods.
Step 2: Analyze & Choose Attack Method
Based on your file's encryption difficulty, select the most appropriate attack strategy:
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Encryption Difficulty Matters
Easy Encryption (PKZIP, PDF RC4-40/64/128):
- ✅ High success rate with dictionary attacks
- ✅ Multiple attack methods available
- ✅ Rules-based attacks highly effective
- ✅ Brute force up to 8 digits feasible
- ✅ Fast processing - minutes to hours
Medium Encryption (ZIP-AES, RAR3, PDF-AES-128):
- ⚠️ Dictionary attacks still effective
- ⚠️ Simple rules work well
- ⚠️ Limited brute force options
- ⚠️ Processing takes hours to days
Hard Encryption (RAR5, PDF-AES-256):
- ❌ Success rate under 15% without password hints
- ❌ Dictionary attacks impractical (too slow)
- ✅ Targeted attacks work if you know password pattern
- ✅ Example: Password is 'Antonio' + 4 digits → Use mask: Antonio?d?d?d?d = high success
- ✅ Brute force limited to 7-8 characters only
- ❌ Random long passwords nearly impossible
Available Attack Methods:
- Dictionary Attack (Base): 14.3M common passwords tested against your file. Fast and effective for Easy/Medium encryption.
- Dictionary + Simple Rules: 430M variations generated by applying basic mutations.
- Dictionary + Best64 Rules: 1.1B variations using 77 proven mutation rules.
- Dictionary + Jumbo Rules: 3.8B variations with 266 comprehensive rules.
- Brute Force: Tests all possible character combinations within specified length range.
- Mask Attack: Pattern-based attack where you specify password structure using placeholders.
💡 Pro Tip: Watch the time limit! Select attacks that fit within YOUR allocated time based on encryption difficulty.
Step 3: Pay Start Fee
Pay the initial fee to begin the recovery process. This covers computational resources and server costs. Price varies by encryption difficulty:
- Easy: (25 min attack window) : €5.50
- Medium: (35 min attack window) : €6.49
- Hard: (45 min attack window) : €8.49
Step 4: Recovery Process
Our scalable architecture processes your file using the selected attack methods. You can monitor real-time progress on your status page. Processing time varies from minutes to days.
Step 5: Success Fee (If Successful)
If we successfully recover your password, you'll be immediately notified via email. Before revealing the password, you'll need to complete the success fee payment:
- Easy: reveal fee : €16.99
- Medium: reveal fee : €19.99
- Hard: reveal fee : €24.99
Remember: Success is NOT guaranteed, especially for Hard encryption without password hints. The start fee is non-refundable as computational resources are consumed during the attempt.
