Abstract

Recovering MS Office password using the Brute-Force method with multi-core CPUs and GPU support has been studied in several works, and obtained some success. In these works, the combination of multi-core CPUs and computer clusters in the computing process is essential in order to increase the processing speed. In this paper, we propose a method for recovering Microsoft Office passwords by an exhaustive method based on a parallel computing system with multiple compute nodes and also take advantage of multi-core capabilities in each node. Moreover, this paper presents an assessment of the impact of communication delays on the performance of a parallel computing system.
