# Excel-Password-Recover
`Excel-Password-Recover` is an open-source tool that could help you recover lost passwords for your excel spreadsheets. This works for macOS, but support for Windows is iffy.
> Disclaimer: This tool is limited to security research only, and the user assumes all legal and related responsibilities arising from its use! The author assumes no legal responsibility!
> Note: This project is unmaintained as it is far more efficient to crack the hash itself via a rainbow table rather than brute force. I realized this after I made this and quickly switched methods.
