Passware Kit Claims to Recover Axcrypt Passwords

[John Murray]

Passware Kit, which produces password recovery software, claims to be able to recover Axcrypt v2 passwords.  It’s website states:

“Passware Kit now recovers passwords for files encrypted with AxCrypt v2, for both Free and Premium accounts.”

What about this claim?

It does, however all it does is a brute force attack. The script kiddies do not have to write a program to try different passwords on it. If it’s a good password then technically you should be fine.

Per the passware documentation the method is: Brute-force – Slow

In addition the method does not support the GPU so it’s way slower than the other methods.
