Using Python to Password Crack Office Files (Brute Force)

Password cracking is the process of attempting to gain access to a password-protected computer system or application. The most common method of password cracking is called brute force, which involves trying every possible combination of characters until the correct password is found.

To crack office files with Python using brute force, you will need a list of potential passwords in a text file. This list can be user created based on probable guesses or simply a well know password list file like rockyou.txt. The next step is using a loop and a library that can open office files and enter potential passwords in our case we will use msoffcrypto.
