I have a question. I have a encryted *dbf and *dbt files.
I don't know the program that did make the encryption. I need an expert who
is familliar with whatever that program is and will encrypt (make readable)
these files.
I will send you some *dbt and * dbf files if you like.

I have now idea if this is possible, but if this is possible I will be
helped.
If it possible let me know for the costs.

i am going to explain my experience, maybe helps.
i wanted to look into data some app.exe was using (to make some external,
additional report not contained in original app), but dbf, when opened with
dbx utility, appeared encrypted, requiring me password.

since app could open that dbf, it was clear that password is hidden
somewhere
in app.exe file. i opened app.exe with hex editor, found place where
dbf was opened, and looked for some meaningfull text string near that place
in exe file. using that method i succeded to find password easily.
of course, it was easy because password was stored as literal text, not
masked as some function call, also app.exe file was not linked as
compressed.

of course, described situation rely on fact that dbf structure by itself
supports
encryption, and you just need password to open it.
if encryption is performed by some algorythm internal to app, this
example doesn't apply.

Eddie/Steve?

I guess that if you do not have the .exe that created this dbf, you
are not the lawful owner of the application or its encrypted data.
Presumably the data was encrypted for just this situation...
