New: Extraction of Facebook, Google, and other websites’ passwords from live memory or hibernation files

Passware Kit 12.3 now recovers passwords for Facebook, Gmail, and other websites by analyzing a memory image or a system hibernation file. Thereby, if a suspect had entered his websites’ passwords before the computer powered off or hibernated, all these passwords can be easily extracted within minutes.

Other memory analysis options include instant decryption of hard disks and MS Office files, and recovery of Windows and Mac user passwords.


NOTE: Live memory analysis is available in the Enterprise and Forensic editions only.

New: Hardware acceleration on the latest ATI cards (AMD Radeon 7 series)

Password recovery for MS Office files and RAR archives can be accelerated with AMD cards. Now password recovery for MS Office 2007-2013 documents can also be accelerated with the latest series of the AMD cards, i.e., Radeon 7 series. The process is 20-30 times faster with just a single card and can be further accelerated with Distributed Password Recovery.
