7-Zip Incorrect Password

[lukesterboy]

Just going to make this quick, short and simple. I have an AES-256 Encrpted document, .7z file. It is password protected. Now this is my document but i have forgetten the password. I know ruffly what it will be. Anyway every time i try a password i don't know if the password is wrong until it gets to the end of the extraction of the file. This extraction takes 14 minutes ruffly. How can i see if the password is wrong quickly rather than having to wait 14 minutes!!!

Use a faster computer with a stronger processor + maybe an SSD if it's already maxing out the HDD write rate.

 

Really, it has to check the entire file against the password before it can tell. So you need a computer that will process the extraction faster.

 

Did you forget your porn password? I HATE when that happens!

Ah damn. Hahahaa. Yeh it's annoying ??. Is there any brute force software i can use but give it a passphrase to work the brute attack of off?
