A Password Recovery Tool for PDF-files

fork from http://pdfcrack.sourceforge.net/ (0.19)

PDFCrack is a GNU/Linux (other POSIX-compatible systems should work too) tool for recovering passwords and content from PDF-files. It is small, command line driven without external dependencies. The application is Open Source (GPL).

• Supports the standard security handler (revision 2, 3 and 4) on all known PDF-versions
• Supports cracking both owner and user passwords
• Both wordlists and brute forcing the password is supported
• Simple permutations (currently only trying first character as Upper Case)
• Save/Load a running job
• Simple benchmarking
• Optimize search for owner-password when user-password is known
