PDF files password cracker

PDFCrack is a simple tool for recovering passwords from pdf-documents. It should be able to handle all pdfs that uses the standard security handler but the pdf-parsing routines are a bit of a quick hack so you might stumble across some pdfs where the parser needs to be fixed to handle. The main PDFCrack features are: - Supports the standard security handler (revision 2, 3 and 4) on all known PDF-versions. - Supports cracking both owner and userpasswords. - Both wordlists and bruteforcing the password are supported. - Simple permutations (currently only trying first character as Upper Case). - Save and load a running job. - Simple benchmarking. - Optimised search for owner-password when user-password is known. This program can be used in forensics investigations or similar activities, to legal password crack.
