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
