[AccessD] Access 2007 Password Cracker

Hi Rob,
1. download and install Truecrypt (free)
2. decide on whether you want a container (file) or a complete drive (yep,
the whole drive if you want).
3. decide if you want visible to others  or not.
4. decide on encryption type (it explains them)
5. decide on the size of container.
6. decide on a password.  The  longer the better.  You cannot later  change
it unless you have the purchased program.
7. run  the encryption  program.
8. when finished, run truecrypt again and "mount" it to a drive  letter  of
your choice (it will show you available ones).
9. it will then look just like any  other  drives. You can create /delete
folders, files etc.  absolutely no  difference.
10. copy your mdb in the  mounted  drive and use it  as  normal.
11. when finished,  dismount the drive and it will then  appear as a garbage
file to the outside  world.
12. The daily use of  it is  so simple and easy.
13. I have been using it for years.

Couple of points:
1. If you are worrying about somebody copying the encrypted  file  and then
working on it,  make it a hugh size.  I have,  for  example, a personal  mdb
of a few hundred Mbytes sitting inside a multi-Gbyte encrypted file.  Try to
suck the sense  out of that!!
2. You can  also run  it auto from USB memory sticks etc.
3. The only gotcha I have come across is to beware of upgrading the
truecrypt program without first mounting and moving the contents of the
previous  version,  then upgrade  and copy the "stuff" back into the new
version.  The  newer version will not  "see" the older version (it may do on
a paid version though).
4. If I lose my memory stick, I don't have to worry about somebody accessing
the info on there.

Hth

Max, 
  Interesting.. How exactly does this work?  Are there any performance hits
when accessing the encrypted db from a FE?

WBR
Robert

Hi Darry,

This shows the ease at which passwords can be broken and exactly why I store
my mdbs etc in a TrueCrypt (TC) container.

To get to the mdb you have to first crack the TC code and not only is that
near-impossible in a normal  life span using the fastest computers known to
mankind, but its very existence can be hidden.  And FREE.

I own and use this software.  Never had any problem, does the job fast
and well so the initial fee has been well worth it. I always think these
things will be a 'once off' but I have used it many times over the years
for all sorts of things.

Anyway... See if that going to suit you.

Cheers
Darryl.

I need the password for some A2007 db's (a new client wants me to pull
data out of a competitor's software that I am replacing).

Any suggestions for how to get the password?

I found a lot of options, but would appreciate some input on what you
all are using.  And free would be cool as this is hopefully a one time
deal.
