Ok. Tried out. You need:
1. Encrypted OpenDocumentFormat File (i.e. your book)
2. John The Ripper from http://www.openwall.com/john/, I used
http://www.openwall.com/john/g/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.bz2
3. A Linux System (There is a Windows binary too)
- Now Download john, then untar it:
tar xvfj john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.bz2
- compile it
cd john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/src
make clean linux-x86-64-native
- test it
cd ../run
./john --test
- get password hash:
./odf2john.py MyImportantCrypted.odt > passwd
- crack password hash
./john passwd
In my example it took john 17 seconds to realize that my password was
actually 123456 - which is of course the most commonly used password ever and
so one of the first tested options:
./john passwd
Loaded 1 password hash (ODF SHA-1 Blowfish [32/64])
123456 (MyImportantCrypted.odt)
guesses: 1 time: 0:00:00:17 DONE (Thu Mar 6 14:43:10 2014) c/s: 1132
trying: 123456
You might need some kind of Computer Nerd and some fast hardware to crack
your ODF Password, but that might be easy to get compared to writing your
book again.
Using passwords on the only original of a file is generally a bad idea - you
use them to secure a copy you want to send by mail or on a stick.
