Description

New Features

Alder Lake Optimizations
We optimized Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery to support Intel’s new heterogeneous architecture, thus unleashing the full potential of the newest and fastest 12th-generation CPUs. Compared to prior releases, the optimization in Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 4.4 more than doubled the performance on Intel’s 12th-generation CPUs equipped with a mix of E-cores in addition to P-cores.
Hardware Acceleration with NVIDIA RTX 3000 Series Boards
We now support GPU acceleration on the newest generation of NVIDIA boards, the Ampere-based RTX 3000 series. Using these video cards, experts can achieve unprecedented recovery speeds never seen before.
Acronis, Macrium, and Veeam Backup Passwords
We updated Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 4.43 with support for encryption passwords protecting popular backup formats. The updated tool can recover access to backups produced by Acronis, Macrium, and Veeam products by attacking the user’s password.

High-Performance Distributed Password Recovery

Break complex passwords, recover strong encryption keys and unlock documents in a production environment. Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery is a high-end solution for forensic and government agencies, data recovery and password recovery services and corporate users with multiple networked workstations connected over a LAN or the Internet. Featuring unique acceleration technologies and providing linear scalability with no overhead, Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery offers the fastest password recovery by a huge margin, and is the most technologically advanced password recovery product currently available.

Hardware Acceleration

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery employs a revolutionary, patented technology to accelerate password recovery when a compatible NVIDIA or AMD graphics card is present in addition to the CPU-only mode. Hardware acceleration utilizes GPU cores of NVIDIA GeForce boards, AMD GPUs, as well as GPU cores built into Intel CPUs including Intel HD Graphics, UHD Graphics and Intel Iris.

The acceleration technology offloads parts of computational-heavy processing onto the fast and highly scalable processors featured in the latest graphic accelerators, achieving unprecedented recovery speeds exceeding those available to CPU-only users by significant margin.

ElcomSoft pioneered asynchronous hardware acceleration. Heterogeneous acceleration allows using multiple video cards of different makes and models, effectively utilizing existing hardware and squeezing the last bit of performance out of every supported component.

Broad Compatibility

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery supports a variety of applications and file formats, allowing password recovery from Office documents, Adobe PDF files, PGP disks and archives, personal security certificates and exchange keys, MD5 hashes and Oracle passwords, Windows and UNIX login passwords.

Important note: hardware acceleration (for specific file formats and algorithms only, see the above chart for details) works properly only on Windows Server 2003/2008/2012 and Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32-bit or 64-bit); specific versions of NVIDIA/AMD drivers are required; some other restrictions apply (e.g. for some file formats, it is implemented for brute-force attack only, while dictionary attack only works on the CPU, regardless the settings).
