Password Software Bundle for Police, Security, and Forensics Specialists

Elcomsoft Password Recovery Bundle allows law enforcement officers to unlock passwords from more than 100 file formats and programs.

Moscow, Russia - October 8, 2007 - ElcomSoft Co. Ltd., a leader in password recovery for business and law enforcement, has released Elcomsoft Password Recovery Bundle - Forensics Edition. This software suite includes the high-end versions of all of ElcomSoft's password recovery software. Using innovative technology, ElcomSoft's package of password recovery products lets authorities unlock more than one hundred file formats and programs.

Elcomsoft Password Recovery Bundle includes programs and technologies that are not available from other software publishers. Examples include:

    - Elcomsoft System Recovery, a boot-disk application that makes it easy to access your computer's Windows password settings. If you're locked out of your computer, Elcomsoft System Recovery will give you access and let you troubleshoot problems that are preventing you from running Windows. Under a special agreement with Microsoft, Elcomsoft System Recovery is based upon Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), a hardware-independent minimal Windows system that replaces the antique DOS boot disk that was used to set up new computer systems.

    - Proactive Password Auditor, a password audit and security test tool that makes it easy for Windows systems administrators to identify and close security holes in their networks. Password hacking continues to be a serious network security threat. Too often, people use simple and easy-to-remember passwords such as common words, repeating characters, and names. Proactive Password Auditor helps secure networks by executing a comprehensive audit of account passwords, and exposing all insecure passwords. Chief Security Officers can locate individual security holes, and patch them immediately. They can also identify patterns and trends that weaken security, and develop the appropriate policies to improve network security. An administrator can use Proactive Password Auditor to recover any lost password, and access a user's Windows account.

    - Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery, an innovative way to harness the power of multiple computers to recover lost passwords.

Before Distributed Password Recovery, the most effective way to recover a lost password was to put the locked file on the fastest machine in the company, and use brute force to attack the password. Distributed Password Recovery lets you coordinate all of the unused computing power of every computer on your LAN or WAN, and use distributed processing to restore the lost password.

The new forensics bundle also includes specialized software to unlock most popular file formats, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Money, and Visio files, PDF files, and dozens of other popular formats and programs.

The Forensics Edition of Elcomsoft Password Recovery Bundle costs $3,999(US), and includes the strongest versions of each of ElcomSoft's password recovery products. The Standard Edition, designed for small businesses and consultants, costs $1,299. The Business Edition, with multiple licenses for most of the bundled applications, costs $12,999.

All of the password recovery products run under Windows 2000/XP/Vista.
