CNET Editors' review
This program recovers forgotten passwords for RAR archives. Recovery runs in the background and resumes on the next system start-up. When you have completely forgotten a password, Advanced RAR Password Recovery will run a brute-force attack that applies all possible combinations one by one. In such a case, you can set the minimum and maximum number of characters and the character sets you used (letters, numbers, and non-English characters). If you recall part of the password, you can restrict the search area with a mask such as m***l. If you have used a meaningful word for your password, the dictionary attack helps. You can plug in external dictionaries and check all possible lowercase and uppercase combinations. To decrease recovery time, the program optimizes its code for each type of processor. The trial version limits recovery to three-letter combinations, which doesn't give you the opportunity to fully evaluate performance. If you've forgotten the password for an important archived document, however, Advanced RAR Password Recovery may save you.Publisher's Description

"Very good, but doesn't defy space/time to give answer"
Version: Advanced RAR Password Recovery 1.52
Pros
It allows for user input to narrow search
Cons
This would be nice if it used rainbow tables.
Summary
Very useful if there are a large group of possibilities which doesn't exceed you're IQ in bits. Due to the nature of vast possibility, and related improbability, if you are a user who searches for a 10 character password with all alpha + numeric + symbols, you are in for a very long wait, but for the good of humanity if learning is not active, you may wait until it is finished.
