Parecía increible pero no lo es, Elcomsoft nos sorprende con un software distribuido que permite atacar archivos encriptados con PGP. No conozco estadisticas de sus tiempos, pero seguro no debe ser un proceso rapido. Les dejo el texto en ingles con la descripción del producto.

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery ver. 1.1.22

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery (EDPR) offers administrators a comprehensive solution for recovering passwords to Microsoft Office documents and PGP when employees forget their passwords, or when they deliberately add passwords to documents in an effort to sabotage their companies. Distributed Password Recovery lets you coordinate all of the unused computing power of every computer on your LAN or WAN, and use distributed processing to restore the lost password. The program installs "agents" onto as many computers on the network as the user desires; each of these agents uses brute force to try to recover the lost password. The agents work in the background without harming other programs -- that is, they use the CPU only when it is in its idle state. The program ensures that these Agents work together, and combine their computing power to find the lost password or decrypt the document. The more computing power available, the faster the recovery speed. Another module of the program, the Console, is designed to manage the agents. An administrator can get a report about the work that is done -- when a password is restored or a document is decrypted, the program informs the administrator by e-mail, and starts processing the next task. EDPR restores passwords for Word and Excel documents encrypted with 40 bit keys (Office 97/2000 compatible) as well as more recent documents (Office XP/2003) encrypted with CSP. Office 97/2000 documents can be also decrypted by recovery of encryption keys instead of password, and that type of attack gives a guaranteed result regardless of password length and complexity. The program is also able to recover passwords to PGP secret key rings (*.scr), PGP disks (*.pgd) and PGP self-decrypting archives.
