Is it possible to crack the password for an Excel VBA project?
Indeed, using a spreadsheet in the.xls format, we can decrypt the password for an Excel VBA project. Due to the secure nature of.xlsx files, this won't function with them. Using a hex editor, change the password entry in the file.
* Create a fresh .xls file.
* Set a simple password, such as "abcd," in the VBA section.
* Save the document, then exit
* Verify the file size.
* Use a hex editor to view the file.
* Start copying the lines with the ensuing keys: CMG=…., DPB=…, GC=…
* Now that we don't know the VBA password for the excel file, we need to back up that data.
* Using the hex editor, launch the file
* Put the lines you just copied from the dummy file in there.
* Save the excel document, then quit.
* Open the excel document where the VBA code has to be checked. The password is abcd.
