PFX Certificate Password Recovery Tool (Brute Force)
Hi All,
A customer recently could not remember the Password of the PFX File. I was curious and searched for a PFX Password Recovery Tool.
I created a PFX with a Password:
- 9 chars
- uppercase chars
- lowercase cars
- numbersspecial caracter
I startet the Tool on Friday 14 January 23:41:41
After about 9 Days there where tested 569'890'000 diffrent combinations. And we’re still at 5 Characters.
Conclusion:
If you have a weak password or know parts of the Password - this might work for you in an acceptable time. If it is a secure Password and you don’t know anything, it will take simply too much time. It’s not that hard to create a new CSR and issue a new Certificate.
