Thanks for the sub, glad you liked it lol

Thank you for your helpful video, it really works❤

[@tysonty5989]

What do i have to do with a stronger password? How can i brute force it? (maybe) Thank you very much for the help and keep it up my friend!

[@PentestsandTech]

If you don’t specify a wordlist, John will start brute forcing. There are some settings that will change the length and charset. I’d go through the John manual to get the specifics

[@hiramdante]

Super bien explicado y funciona. Gracias!

[@abdulmuizz8171]

where shud i place the rockyou.txt and the hash txt file inside the john ripper folder? and what wud be the first .exe name for the john ripper?

[@PentestsandTech]

you can put the wordlist anywhere you want, you just have to specify the file path when you write the command. I believe it is either "john" or "john.exe"

What to do if i can open the file it just seems somehow encrypted , e.g. i can edit it, see what's in it, but it's a bunch symbols which don't make any sense, what i'm asking is can the whole document be encrypted and still be openable and text to be like (QfrqwerqQW#3S54F&/(()===(/ABGG&&A/)IK) or some variation of that

[@PentestsandTech]

It kinda sounds like it’s corrupted? Where did you get the file?

[@matkobarisic7765]

@@PentestsandTech yeah maybe, it's my father's old work documents and one of them has our house adress as its name, so i tried to see what's it about. 10% of the text is readable the rest is just incoherent symbols, but it's not just that document that is like that, all of them are, and there is 95 of them there. it honestly looks like enigma-esque sort of encryption, I can't put my finger on it, something about it just seems weird somehow (some of the symbols keep repeating at odd places as if it's not coincidental), but probably just corrupted

Thank you so much!! Works like a charm ♥ >>Subscribed

Sir, I have this error (You are probably missing the CUDA, HIP or OpenCL runtime installation.) Plz guide me

[@PentestsandTech]

Make sure you have a CPU or GPU that is compatible with Cuda or OpenCL, and make sure you have installed the chipset drivers and graphics card drivers for them.

didn't work with hash cat: [s]tatus [p]ause [b]ypass [c]heckpoint [f]inish [q]uit => , how about using JTR? do I move hash txt and rockyou file to JTR folder?

[@Ravindraviswa]

sorry to say but ist not worked for me

[@cristianoideyama]

this not working for 2019 excel files...

[@PentestsandTech]

It should, I’ll check it out

[@keithambio2502]

@@PentestsandTech did you ever test Office 2016/2019 files?

[@A1NZ777]

Does this method work on the entire workbook "the excel file itself" ? or on an excel worksheet ?

[@PentestsandTech]

The excel file itself

[@XOXOXOKO3D]

what if I remember one word in the password but i'm not sure about the rest

[@PentestsandTech]

There is a way to specify certain characters or words using a mask attack, i would look into that

[@VideoPrince1]

How to find password without requiring device? My device is too weak :(

[@PentestsandTech]

There are sites online that will crack your hash for you, but you usually have to pay. Sometimes you can post it on Reddit r/hashcracking and they might help

[@gurbanidaily9974]

How long does it take to show password after it says "please be patient...."

[@PentestsandTech]

It depends on the actual password. More complex passwords will take longer. Also depends on your hardware.

[@gurbanidaily9974]

@@PentestsandTech I've been waiting for about 20mins, is that normal/expected? I'm at the "initializing backend runtime for device #1. please be patient....

[@PentestsandTech]

@gurbanidaily9974 oh that sounds like it has not started yet. I would make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your chipset and graphics card. Sometimes initializing can take a while, but not more than 20 mins

[@vjjovan2411]

What abt the windows encrypted file

[@PentestsandTech]

Different process, I’ll take a look at it

[@user-pq6zu8kb5i]

i cant find open in terminal file location

[@PentestsandTech]

You can just open a command prompt and then use cd to change directory to where you need to go.

[@user-pq6zu8kb5i]

could please open my document word document file?

[@PentestsandTech]

I’m sorry i don’t crack files for people

.\pythone2.exe : The term '.\pythone2.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + .\pythone2.exe .\office2john.py .\moha.xlsx can you solve this please?

[@PentestsandTech]

i renamed my python executable to python2 so that it wouldn’t get confused for python3, try running it as “python”
