Cracking Encrypted Microsoft Office Files

Encrypted Excel files are much more secure than "protected" office files, but it still very much depends on the strength of the password used.

This is for educational purposes only and is only to be used on computers or files that you own or have permission to test.

Sí funciona, lo hice con un archivo .ppsx, muy agradecido. Si sacas algo más corto estaría super pero me funcionó que es lo que importa. Saludos!!

Following this, I wasn't able to successfully crack the password of a 2013 office hash, I tried rockyou, john, cain, 10mil txts and and it exhausted them all. Bit disappointed but it was fun learning it.

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 or some variation of that

Thank you for your helpful video, it really works❤

[ThanosDickson]

can i do these with multiple word files simultaneously instead of only one word file?

[ivangarcia]

Hi. Idk what's happening but its taking a lot of time. Where says [s]status [p]pause, etc. nothing happends after that. And because of the 90c limit it just aborted. I allready put more power on the gpu fan and its taking a lot of time to without something happends. Does anyone have this problem?

.\python.exe : The term '.\python.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.

This is the error I get in the terminal. Im missing something

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