You want to crack an 18 character(seemingly full keyspace) password for an .aes file? Good luck. That is a very very large number of possibilities and cracking files like this is not a simple task by any means.

This can require up to 10 years to crack a 18 chars passwords. even its encrypted with AES wich is one of the most strong encryption routine.

math does the rest:

254^18 combinations of passwords... a number followed by 44 zero.. not bad
good luck
