I’ve got Krylack running trying to open this ZIP file, but it’s only managing 25 passwords per second. This is going to take days, if not weeks.

Are there any faster free programs around?

Someone hacked the school of a friend of mine and I found out that the Hacker got an E-Mail which I found on this website. The website says that it observes the Email or something. The hacker used a phishing method(a “Adult website”) to get the password and then he controlled the pc via remote control. Then the Hacker sent an E-mail where he want’s 500 USD in bitcoins.

This was very basic hacking, but it still felt good to actually get paid for something I did on my computer (first time for that) and help out my friend. My friend got a .pdf file from work that he needed to edit to copy and paste parts of it into a study guide. He’s a mechanic and was trying to get a certification to work on ambulances. He asked me if there was anyway I could hack the .pdf and make it editable. I told him to send it to me and I’d see what I could do. Didn’t even know if I could do it. He said he would make it worth my while if I could. So, I did some google searching regarding permissions and security on pdfs. If they’re password protected you can’t change the security.

​

My version of Acrobat Reader DC would not even allow me to edit .pdf’s, so I started out downloading a cracked pro version of Acrobat Reader 11. Then I opened the .pdf and tried to change the permissions in the security tab and it prompted me for a password. So, obviously I had to fix that. Then it was simple. I downloaded a .pdf password removal tool and bam password and security gone. Mission accomplished. So, I sent it back to my friend, he was extremely grateful, and now he thinks I’m a master hacker lol. He gifted me a $20 steam game and beers on him next time he comes down. He also said he’d said more business my way from the people he deals with. Obviously, I didn’t do any “real” hacking, I used other people’s tools, but it was still pretty cool. I’m a Computer Information Systems student (still basically in the beginning) so eventually maybe I will be able to do some actual hacking. I will be taking classes on networking, security, ethical hacking, etc.
