I need this! Years ago I protected an archive of pictures before transporting them. Then I lost the originals in a hard drive crash and was left only with the protected archive, thinking I knew the password. But I cant remember the password for the life of me. I've tried cracking it a few times, but after months, it was still going so decided to stop and wait for a more efficient method.

Wonder if theres a crypt "files" that destroys files after 10 wrong answer? It woud make all these hack systems useless.

The file would need an executable element. There would always be a way to prevent the executable from running.

well a random picture as password woud be a perfect key??? It woud have millions of codes? =) Picture woud not have to be perfect, only like 100x similar things in there, like landscape and buildings etc ...

How would you use the picture to unlock the file?

Same as file asks password, it woud ask picture. There are some programs made that identifyes faces and fingerprints... so it shoud not be impossible to make.. Picture just woud have millions of code to crack, compared to any other password. Im not genious about these but more like thinker.. =) Seems Win8 has somekind picture password... but it gives u a photo and have to draw to open... Woud be better if u had a photo in memory stick and win woud not give a photo, woud have to select it ur self, from hundreds of photos and then draw... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQtG6d7rCSk

whoa, the powah needed to feed this monster! but what it is new is the scale,the concept is not new,all mobile phone shops have a smaller version to calculate hashes for unlocking codes. we build some of those rigs,so..

All you are doing is using a longer password. You can do that without a picture file. Even if you did use a picture file, it will need a defined process, this process will be cracked. Nothing will be gained other than a more complicated way of using a longer password, making it more annoying for the end user.

If you have an operating system based protection system, it can be foiled by using a different operating system to crack the file. Granted it adds a bit of time 'before' it is cracked, but when it has been worked out once, it can be used all the time.

Wonder if anyone with a password like 'love,' 'sexy,' or '1234' is reading this? 😉

Probably not, the people who cracked their account after 3 attempts might be though

if people are using passwords like that, then they deserve to get hacked.

Hey that might be possible. Speak to Lucid, they may be able to make a chip that works across motherboards. http://www.ubergizmo.com/2009/09/lucid-offers-a-multi-gpu-alternative-to-sli-and-crossfire/ Then you can setup an array of UltraHD displays... http://www.tomshardware.com/news/LG-Ultra-HD-84-inch-TV-Price-UK-Release-Date,19465.html and play Crysis from 1/2 a mile away. Cool!

Wouldnt it be completely useless vs biometrics? or is that the 'picture' you had in mind as mentioned previously?

*shrug* Next year we'll have yet another system that again supasses this by a mile. One day one of these things will even fully calculate pi...

Because there will always be something better next year, you wont upgrade your PC? How do you propose fully calculating an infinite series?

Some mathematicians believe that there's no such thing as infinity, and that that some things are simply beyond our comprehension. Even if that is true, it's probably the same result in the end (Aka never going to happen). Don't get me wrong, that's not my belief. Simply throwing it out there. Interesting article by the way, they're pushing some very impressive numbers.
