How VaultRecover works
1. Upload
Your file is validated by real content (magic bytes), not just its extension, and stored under a random key — never your original filename.
2. Analyze
We inspect the file's real structure to confirm it's actually password-protected and detect the encryption scheme.
3. Recover
Fast Check tries common passwords immediately. Deep Recovery uses your hints to generate targeted candidates. Every candidate is verified by actually decrypting your file.
4. Reveal & download
On success, the password is shown and a short-lived, signed link lets you download the unlocked file. Files are deleted automatically after a short retention window.
