I work as a Litigation Technology Specialist. With that comes the responsibility of E-discovery. However, when opposing counsel produces their "documents", many of them are in native file format, for the electronic documents, and many of them are in email formats, i.e.ST or NSF's

However, many of these come with certain emails password protected. To save time with filing a Motion to Compel, it is legal to use a password cracker, and in fact, some lit tech software comes with it bundled.

However, i was wondering if anyone new of any good PST and DFS password crackers....

Thanks in advance!

I haven't been involved in the cracking scene in probably 7-8 years but I must ask just out of curiosity: why is the opposing counsel forcing you to break into documents that you are supposed to have access to, instead of providing you with access? Or are these files from the parties involved in the case that aren't being cooperative?

Its more of a method of making opposing counsel have to work. To get a Motion to Compel takes some doing. Not that its hard, but it is expensive from a time and billable hours point of view.
