Bestcrypt brute force

[Javier Sanchez <sjllera () ya com>]

Hi all,

i need to test the encryption of a bestcryt container, i thought that
some brute force test will be enough. I have found a program for win
that does exactly what im looking for but the creator website is down.
Does anyone know Bestcrypt Brute Forcer ?? And any alternative download
sites ??


Cheers
