philrodo Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Intella keeps on reporting that it found encrypted items some of which it was able to decrypt while others it was not. I'm dumbfounded as to where this information is coming from. I have provided no passwords to Intella to decrypt anything. So if these files are indeed encrypted, how is Intella decrypting them?

Andrej Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 When encrypting certain files, for example PDF document or archives, empty password can be used in certain programs, because these programs don't really check if you have entered anything in the password field or not. If no passwords were added into the Intella's keystore, then Intella will still try to decrypt items by using an empty password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philrodo Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Interesting. Thanks. PS. I'm getting more than 4,000 encrypted files as reported by Intella of which more than 1,700 were decrypted. Hard to believe that so many files are using a blank password. Go figure...
