ElcomSoft Recovers iWork Passwords, Supports Apple Numbers, Pages, and Keynote Apps.
Moscow, Russia, February 10, 2012 --(PR.com)-- ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. updates Distributed Password Recovery, supporting password recovery for Apple iWork documents. With Apple iWork support, Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery becomes an industry-first tool to recover passwords for Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps.
By recovering passwords protecting Apple iWork documents, ElcomSoft offers forensic experts access to a wider range of encrypted evidence. At this time, Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery remains the only commercially available solution to recover iWork passwords.
“The recovery process is painfully slow,” comments Andy Malyshev, ElcomSoft CTO. “Apple used strong AES encryption with 128-bit keys, which makes password attack the only feasible solution. We’re currently able to try several hundred password combinations per second on an average CPU. This is slow, and thus only distributed attacks can be used to achieve a reasonable recovery time. However, the human factor and our product’s advanced dictionary attacks help recover a significant share of these passwords in reasonable timeframe.”
About Apple iWork
In early 2005, Apple introduced Numbers, Pages, and Keynote apps for MacOS computers. In 2011, the company expanded the availability of these tools to iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The applications are part of Apple iWork productivity suite for mobile devices, allowing mobile users to create and share documents, spreadsheets and presentations on the go. Available for only $9.99 through App Store, iWork captured a significant part of the mobile office/productivity segment. Mac sales are reported to take some 16 per cent of the office productivity niche at $79 per license, with the rest taken by Microsoft Office (a significantly more expensive option for the Mac users).
