If your database has been compromised by hackers or you lost the password you set for the MySQL or Oracle platform you manage, then it is likely that you are looking for a solution to recover or change the passkey.

As the name suggests, JRecoverer Database Bundle is an application that enables you to retrieve sensitive credentials that you use to log in, administer and manage databases.

Straightforward installation and intuitive navigation

The setup can be quick and painless, provided that you already have the latest version of Java installed on your computer. Upon launch, you are greeted by a splash screen that enables you to select the type of database that you are trying to recover the password.

The program is suitable for four standard databases, namely Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle. It would have been nice if the package included a restoration kit for Microsoft Access as well.

Includes three methods of recovering passwords

You should know that before you can proceed to retrieve the password, first you need to import your account information. Once you have specified the parameters and established the connection, you can select one of the three methods of retrieving the password.

The default restoration options provided by the application include Brute Force, Dictionary and Hybrid attacks. Irrespective of the method you choose, you can use the commands in the reports to specify the type of data you are interested in retrieving, be it accounts, charts or a combination of both.

On a side note, in case neither of the options do the trick, then you can give it one more try with a precomputed hashes attack by enabling the rainbow tables.

A handy utility for database management

In the eventuality that you just took over a database and you do not have all the necessary credentials to access the Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server or PostreSQL databases, then perhaps JRecoverer Database Bundle could come in handy.
