RAR Password Recovery

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

RAR Password Recovery proved to be an effective way to uncover lost or forgotten passwords, but--as its name implies--it only works with one file type. Its straightforward, tabbed interface clearly represents the three main password recovery options: Brute-Force, Booost-Up, and Dictionary. Each approach proved successful in our tests, although the demo limits passwords to three characters. Conveniently, you can save password recovery settings in projects for future use. While it can only handle one file format, users who need to unlock their RAR files will find this application up to the task.

    "Acts like malware - demo too limited"

    June 6, 2011  |   By Maroonandgold

    Version: RAR Password Recovery 1.1 RC16

    Pros

    None that I can see

    Cons

    This program opens popups, requires admin UAC where it should not, and required revo uninstaller to remove many features. This is a bad trial. The trial itself can only crack passwords up to 3 characters.

    Summary

    Far too risky to demo. The very limited ability of the demo makes it not even worth trying. I am very disappointed that CNET lets this thing stay in the download library as it exhibits far too many malware traits.

    Version: RAR Password Recovery 1.1 RC16

    Pros

    Good at being a trojan horse.

    Cons

    Tried a virus scan on this file after it downloaded and my anti-virus says that this is a password protected archive also....hmmm. SCAM!!! Don't download.

    Summary

    This files is probably a trojan, it's a password protected archive file too. Don't trust it...

    "Great Program!"

    March 25, 2009  |   By martt182

    Version: RAR Password Recovery 1.1 RC16

    Pros

    Does exactly what it it says

    Cons

    Doesn't make my dinner

    Summary

    This is not a con. Fair enough it takes ages but any good password cracker will. You have to buy the full version to crack every rar file. Based on some user reviews, obviously you can't test the program with downloaded rar files if you have a 3 character limit but did ya ever think to create an encrypted .rar file and use the program to try find the password to test it? Common sense really

    Pros

    Nothing, it's a con.

    Unable to test if it does anything as it only allows 3 digit passwords as the maximum. Rubbish!
