from the doc: 'This program (Advanced ARJ
Password Recovery, or simply AAPR) can be used to
recover your lost password for ARJ archive. At the
moment, there is no known method to extract the
password from the compressed file; so, the only
available methods are "brute force" and
dictionary-based attacks.
Well, there are a lot of programs like this
around, but all of them have their own "pros" and
"cons". Here is a brief list of AAPR advantages:
- The program is very fast: about 2 million
passwords per second (Pentium II). - The program
is customizable: you can set the password length
(or length range), the character set to be used to
generate the passwords, and a couple of other
options. - Dictionary-based attack is available. -
The maximum password length is not limited (in
registered version). - No special virtual memory
requirements.'
