Is it possible to crack a blowfish 256 bits encrypted file?

Question

I have a file of my own that i have encrypted using Coder-Abi. Now i can just remember part of this password. So, would it be possible (much easier) for me to crack it knowing only part of it? I can remember around 20 of them. The files are pictures, excel and word files.

if there's a software (mainly freeware), please let me know.

thanks for the help

Answer 1

Your best bet is brute force. If you know a significant proportion of the original password, (e.g., 13 characters out of 16), it wouldn't be too time consuming for a script to attempt all other possible combinations for the remaining characters.
