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.
