pdfrip is a multithreaded PDF password cracking utility written in Rust. It supports dictionary attacks, mask and pattern-based brute force, date and number range generators, checkpoint/resume, and JSON output.
Use cases
- crack a forgotten pdf password
- recover password from locked pdf file
- brute force pdf password with a wordlist
- try date-shaped passwords on a pdf
- resume an interrupted pdf password cracking job
- test numeric range passwords on a pdf
When to choose
- you need to recover a password for a PDF you own
- you want fast multithreaded cracking with pattern builders like masks, dates, and number ranges
- you need checkpoint/resume for long brute-force jobs
When to avoid
- you need to crack passwords for file formats other than PDF
- you want a GUI tool rather than a command-line utility
- cracking passwords on documents you do not have authorization to access
