Brute Force Through WD Password Protection

Data Extractor has no issue detecting if the user pass is the correct one just by comparing it to the hash code included with the eDEK.

I haven't figured that out exactly, but it's only a matter of spending the time. If necessary I've got a few computer programmer / mathematician / Rain Man friends who could figure it out in no time.

what I mean is, how to know all the parameters and algorithms on the left of the equation that truly equals the right side. Kind of hard to explain, but simplified:

algo(A) = C where A is the user input, C is the answer.

lets say C= "222" and the algo is {input + input}

A = 111
algo(111) = "222" so password is correct.

but whats say we don't know the algo.

to know A + B = C, we HAVE to know at least 2 parameters in the equation

we might find C, but how to derive the actual input?
