- Quickbooks Pro v5.0 for Windows
-
- I've been told QuickBooks is a good product. I've only seen it from a cryptological point of view, and there was no product to look
- at. Actually, there was nothing at all related to cryptography.
-
- Like Act! and many other modern business applications, the makers of QuickBooks (Intuit) decided not to bother encrypting
- anything other than the password. For the password, they use a simple substitution chiper, which I haven't bother to figure out yet,
- and probably won't. It doesn't matter much.
-
- In fact, all you really need to do is download a hex editor and head to offset 00001DD3. You'll see between 1 and 11 non-zero bytes,
- one for each letter of the password. Set them all to '00' (hexadecimal) and your problem is solved.
