I know That's why I am enlisting the help of you guys... I have tried rarcrack on FreeBSD Command interface [No UI Logistics loaded] It completed a 10 password search @ just under a billion passwords per minute. With no result. I asked the person that had packed it at that point about what possible passwords he would use and to my dismay I found he used special symbols in some of his passwords as to make them stronger... So I am stuck looking for help else where... P.S. I do however know that from a Russian website that some people were able to yield incredible results using the Video cards of their particular PC's as auxiliary CPU power. I think they were able to do a fully successful crack of a 12 Char AES Password in about a month worth of processing time.

I have a duel I7 Extreme with 16gb of ram on a NV Personal Super Computer. And I am looking to do it via cmd line because I will be using Server 2008 Core to break the password... So no external apps will be running at the time I run this... I did take a couple of classes in cryptology about 2 years ago so I know what I ask is an amazing concept for most to comprehend! ~DarC P.S. I have the SDK.

I want to build a 7z password brute force cracker. The problem is I have an entire 20 GB worth of backed up data in a 7z file containers and Have failed to find any retail software solution. RAR looks like the only AES encrypted archive type being messed with... So now comes the problem that I dont know jack beans about building software as I am a System Admin and Not a Developer. So I purchased a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Standard for 50 bucks off ebay. I want to make the fastest bit per second app I can that's why I chose C/C++. I would also like it to be made Multi threaded as I hear that Multiple core processors can make great use of these type of apps.. Bear in mind that I have no training in writing code. But I do learn fast so any help wold be appreciated.. **Edit** PS It was locked with symbols in the password but it is not longer then 8 characters in length. Thanx in advanced DarC.
