Navigation: Find Password Protected Files >  Introduction

This article reviews the following issues. First of all, to find out whether the file encryption is really required, one should learn in detail what is file protection against illegal access, how it can be reached, and when it may be used. The rest of article considers problems of search of encrypted files, note that more complicated situations are also taken into consideration, when existence of the encrypted file is still a question, or when a password has been lost.

Show Hidden Files newsletter is about password protection, password recovery and searching password protectedAll groups of consumers, from home PC users to professionals, companies' employees and executives, need to keep some important information being confidential and inaccessible for outsiders. Furthermore, the larger the company and the higher position its representative has the heavier loss may be caused by possible leak of information. 

Quite often the company safety is directly related to a proper data protection against unauthorized access. Thus it seems reasonable to prevent files and archives with the most important data from unwanted access in some way, i.e. to encrypt them. Today the solving of this problem is not a matter of concern, so this article doesn't consider issues referred to strength of commonly used encryption algorithms. But as soon as the file has been encrypted another problem rears its ugly head – strange though it may seem, but it is very easy to be lost. Since in pursuit of confidentiality the users aim to invent cumbersome passwords, experiment with file names, it's quite usual that the password or file name has been forgotten. The author by no means appeals to use primitive passwords, quite the contrary, but the user should know how to find a necessary file in that case. Here is one more example when it's necessary to find encrypted files, too, but this time the situation doesn't seem so unsophisticated. Assume that one of the company employees gathers information for a competitor company, and it makes sense for him to keep the collected data in an encrypted file. Therefore, the timely revelation of the file provides security of the company, hence preventing from a potential damage.
