| Oct 2, 2017 at 23:19 | comment | added | Bacon Brad | If you have your script loop through each password, hash them 100,000 times using SHA-512 and matching them with the hash supplied with the encrypted document you could see if any of them are a match. If any of them are a match they are the password. | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 23:12 | comment | added | Keyur Golani | I understand. So is there any way, given a document and let's say 100 passwords, to know which password is right and decrypt the document with that? I'm particularly interested in office 2013 documents. | |
