PASSWARE AND PERLUSTRO PARTNERSHIP PRODUCES
GROUNDBREAKING FORENSICS TECHNOLOGY


New Technology Will Provide Unprecedented Access To Electronic Data And Will Dramatically Increase
The Speed Of Digital Discovery

Mountain View, CA and Edmond, OK – August 7, 2008 – The joint partnership of Passware, Inc. and
Perlustro, L.P. has enabled the development of a new technology that will allow forensics specialists to
access system data indexes on all Microsoft platforms, including Windows Vista. The technology can
successfully recover data that, heretofore, has been hidden from forensics investigators.

Passware, Inc., the worldwide leader in password recovery and decryption, created the core new technologies,
which leverage the company’s next generation of dynamic decryption solutions across the computer forensics
spectrum, including both e-discovery and legal-based forensics research.

Additionally, the companies jointly announced that Passware’s core decryption technology is now embedded
in Perlustro’s ILook software forensics products. Perlustro is a leading provider of digital forensics software,
with a platform that includes complete forensics and e-discovery suites. ILook is the software of choice for
forensics specialists in domestic and international Intelligence, Military and Law Enforcement agencies.

ILook will launch its commercial version toolset later this year, and it will incorporate the full complement of
Passware’s decryption technologies, allowing forensics personnel unparalleled access to electronic data.

“This is an exciting development, and one that addresses important e-discovery challenges facing today’s
forensics professionals, including processing speed and cost,” said Passware President Dmitry Sumin. “The
upcoming line of Perlustro products, which have integrated a newly designed platform of Passware advanced
decryption tools, will provide forensically sound access to data and will do so more quickly and less
expensively than competing technologies.”

Mr. Sumin said that Perlustro’s forensics and e-discovery solutions will also elevate e-discovery to a
completely new level because all users – including those with minimal or no forensics training – will now be
able to contribute to the e-discovery process. With other tools in use today, only highly trained forensics
professionals can make major contributions to these e-discovery processes, resulting in a more expensive and
time-consuming effort.

“Working with Passware’s team, we were able to create a cost effective solution that will dramatically
increase the speed of every aspect of digital investigations,” said Perlustro President Elliot Spencer. “By
combining Perlustro’s revolutionary forensics toolset with the Passware tools – and with Microsoft’s SQL
Server 64, which is a critical component of Perlustro’s ILook toolbase – we created a truly winning
combination, and one that we’re excited to share with the government and commercial forensics community.”
