===================================================================== Excel Password Recovery * Versions History * ===================================================================== https://www.passcape.com info@passcape.com ===================================================================== [+] new feature, improvements [*] modification [!] error or bug fix Version 4.2.2 [*] Some AV false positives workaround. Version 4.2.1 [*] General update. Version 4.2.0 [+] Support for some new GPU cards. [!] A fix for the hardware monitoring problem of some AMD devices. Version 4.1.0 [+] Support for Nvidia GeForce RTX 4xxx GPUs. Version 4.0.0 [+] New guaranteed password recovery for Microsoft Office 97-2003 files with 40-bit encryption. [!] A memory overusage processing huge *.xlsx files was fixed. Version 3.0.0 [+] Support for old Microsoft Office 97-2003 formats. [+] Support for Hashcat and JohnTheRipper hash files. [+] The Mask attack supports dictionaries now. [*] New password benchmarks. [*] New rules for the Hybrid dictionary attack. [*] The program's built-in dictionary was expanded with new top- used and popular passwords. [*] A new HTML/email parsing engine that has a much more thorough algorithm for data analysis. Some advantages of the new engine: - Faster processing of plain HTML files; - Better detection of text encoding; - Much deeper processing of email attachments. For example, if the program finds an attachment as a ZIP file, it unpacks the content of the archive, enumerates the files, and extracts words from every file to put them into a general wordlist (to be used later for password guessing). The HTML/email parsing engine is made for generating miscellaneous dictionaries. All it does is extracts user email correspondence, words from recently used files, typed-in queries in browser search, and so on. This dictionary is used then in AI attacks, creating other dictionaries, etc. [*] Minor improvements. [!] A bug was fixed when scanning and extracting HDD-sensitive data. [!] A COM initialization bug was fixed. Sometimes the program was showing an error on exit. [!] A minor bug in password benchmarking dialog. Version 2.5.2 [+] Support for NVidia 30xx devices. [*] New speed benchmarks. [*] New rules for the Hybrid dictionary attack. [*] CUDA 2.0-2.1 GPUs are no longer supported. [!] Some items for the "Overall GPU performance" report was not sorting properly. Version 2.5.1 [!] Sometimes the demo version failed unexpectedly after demo message notification. Version 2.5.0 [+] Support for new GPU devices. [+] New rule-files for Hybrid dictionary attack. [+] New speed benchmarks. [*] Up to 50% speedup when recovering Excel 2013-2019 passwords using AMD GPUs. [*] Internal changes in recovery engine. [*] Support for newest versions of Firefox when extracting local passwords in AI attack and in Wordlist indexation tool. [*] The default rule-file (Yurets.ini) of a Hybrid dictionary attack have been changed. [*] Some minor changes. [!] A error caused by AMD drivers was fixed. The program crashed unexpectedly when launching AMD kernels on certain drivers. It turns out that some versions of AMD drivers report they have support for SPIR but in fact they do not. Moreover, trying to compile a SPIR binary using the drivers may ruin the program (as well as any other application that call the SPIR compilation routine). This version has a workaround for the problem. [!] Buffer overflow bug in dictionary merge tool. Version 2.4.0 [+] Added support for NVidia Volta GPUs. [+] Added support for newest AMD devices. [+] Support for 7z archives. [*] Preliminary support for Windows 10 Fall Creator Update. [*] Security issue. [!] Several minor fixes and improvements. [!] Wordlist sorting tool worked incorrectly for non-Latin characters if the 'Ignore case' option was set on. [!] A bug in Artificial Intelligence attack was eliminated. Sometimes the attack failed unexpectedly. Version 2.3.0 [+] Added support for NVidia Pascal GPUs. [+] Added support for AMD Radeon RX 400 Series GPUs. [!] Fixed a error in GPU Hybrid dictionary attack. Some password mutation rules were not working correctly. Version 2.2.0 [+] Support for Microsoft Office 2016 documents. [*] New rules in Hybrid dictionary recovery. [*] Support was dropped for old NVidia devices (with compute capability 1.1-1.3). [*] Support for Radeon HD 6000 and Radeon HD 5000 Series cards was dropped because AMD no longer supports these devices. [*] Some minor enhancements in internal engines, like better support for Firefox password extraction, etc. [*] Better tag wiper algorithm in wordlist extended tools. [!] ?i and ?o rules were working incorrectly in Hybrid dictionary attacks. [!] Fixed a critical error in smart mutation engine. Version 2.1.7 [*] Document name mutation (in Preliminary attack) works much more effectively. [*] Minor improvement in CUDA error-handling engine. [!] Fixed a problem in Base-word attack. Case mutation worked incorrectly. [!] A problem with non-English passwords was eliminated. Version 2.1.6 [*] Performance tuning for some NVidia devices. [*] Support for CUDA 1.0 GPU devices was dropped. [*] The "Password-list analysis -> Character set ordering" report has been revised. [!] The "Password-list analysis -> Character sets" report displayed incorrect values sometimes. Fixed. Version 2.1.4 [*] Changes in Combined dictionary attack. Default rule is not used any longer. [*] Minor interface changes. [!] Fixed a bug processing ':' rule in Hybrid attack. Version 2.1.1 [*] Some changes in dictionary caching algorithm. [!] Windows XP compatibility issue. Version 2.1.0 [*] Minor performance improvement on certain NVidia GPUs. [*] Hybrid rules were updated. [*] Syntax for Hybrid attack was changed slightly. Now you can use character bitwise shift operations. [!] A minor bug was fixed in Dictionary attack. Version 2.0.0 [+] Support for NVidia Maxwell GPUs. [+] Support for AVX2 CPU instruction set. [+] New password recovery speed benchmarks. [+] New flat color themes in Reports. [!] Fixed a problem opening a project moved from another PC. Now if the program detects that the opening project was not created on a current PC, it resets the hardware configuration and asks user to revise other options.

Version 1.3.5 [+] New option in the Base-word attack. Now the program can use document name as an input word. [*] Preliminary attack was revised to avoid some problems with memory over-usage. Version 1.3.4 [!] Yet another fixup for progress indicator. Version 1.3.3 [!] Fixed some progress problems. [!] Minor bug in CPU recovery engine. [*] Program's help was updated. Version 1.3.2 [+] Support for future AMD Radeon Rx 200 series GPUs. [+] Several thousands of new Hybrid rules were added. [+] New GPU speed benchmarks. [+] New password lookup module. Affects AI attack and password search tool. [*] Hybrid syntax has been revised significantly. 9 new rules were added and several bugs were eliminated. A number of GUI improvements. The program can import hashcat and passwordspro rules now. [*] The Pass-phrase mutation engine has been rewritten from scratch. New rules were added, some were omitted. Great speed optimization has been done: all ultra mutation modes run more than 10 times faster now. [*] Changes in the Base-word attack. The program generates more variants for input words.
