Hi,
So for you, the only possible attack is to "brute force" the password interface ? I actually know that the used algo is AES... no more. The minimum password length to use is 6 characters (including numbers and special characters..)
If there were any easy attacks against AES, it wouldn't be AES, it would only be Rijndael :)
Try picking a copy of Practical Cryptography (Schneier), but unless they've done anything dumb - like having insufficiently random initialisation vectors, or using ECB mode instead of CBC to encrypt - it's probably not going to get you very far. (Hopefully they have used a decent crypto library like Botan or Peter Gutmann's one, and haven't rolled their own.)
