Well I can tell you’ you will wish you didn’t open it at all not knowing anything about it to begin with. You now have unpleasant quite hard to get rid of bugs in your system memory, drive and registry of brute-force quite hard to get rid of without the proper methods.. Why would you want to use such a thing..

A brute force attack works by trying all known combinations of characters. Pretend that a three letter password is needed. This attack might start with the following attempts:
aaa
aab
aac
…and so on until it eventually finds the right three letters needed. Of course, if there are numbers and special characters, then the attack will take longer to finish. And especially if the password is rather long to begin with.
Of the different types of hacking attempts, brute force eventually works, but takes the longest to accomplish.

I don’t know what Awienz is talking about!
A brute force hack will take some time to do! I would advise going elsewhere for what you need I tried this a couple of times and it took 6 days to find the right password.
You have to tell it the file you want it to hack, then choose parameters, what dictionary to use, what letters to include, UPPER/lower, numbers, symbols, length of password (this is where it falls down to me coz if you don’t know the password how do you know how long it is, it could be a 5 letter word or a 10 letter jumble of letters and symbols or even a sentence of 3/4 words).
Is it really worth the trouble!
