# PDF Password Crack
---
## Description
This Python script is designed to assist in decrypting and recovering the password for encrypted PDF files. There are two approaches beind used,
a brute force approach to systematically try different combinations of characters until the correct password is found and a dictionary read to read all possible passwords from a dictionary.
This can be useful if you have forgotten the password to a PDF file that you encrypted yourself and need to regain access to its contents.
## Features (`BruteForce`)
- Brute force approach to password recovery
- Supports specifying minimum and maximum password lengths
- Customizable character set for generating password combinations
- Progress tracking to monitor attempts and elapsed time
## Features (`Dictionary`)
- Dictionary password hit and miss
- Reads all passwords in a dictionary line by line and returns which opens file
- Supports an existing dictionary or customizable dictionary
## Usage
1. Install the required dependencies:
```sh
pip install pikepdf
```
2. Update the script with the path to your encrypted PDF file and specify the desired password length (optional).
3. Run the script:
```sh
python Bruteforce_crack.py
```
`or`
```sh
python Dictionary_crack.py
```
5. Wait for the script to finish running. If the correct password is found, it will be printed along with the elapsed time.
