Is Grok abandonware?

#1 08-20-2008, 03:49 AM

G'day everyone,

Trying to contact a human via http://www.prgtools.com/grok.htm doesn't get
very far. The website itself hasn't been updated recently: "Last modified:
April 15, 1999"

Assuming that Grok is abandonware, does anyone have a key to unlock
grok10.zip?

Kind regards,
Bruce.

Aye, there are, quite a few. However, it may take a while to crack
given that I don't know the layout of the original password. For
instance, whether it uses decimal numbers only, or hex values only, or
any values, and whether it was XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX or some other layout.
Could take a l-o-o-o-o-ng time.

Kind regards,
Bruce.
