You can run the program via the command line:
aopb.exe [options] <filename>
The available options are:
| /minimize OR /m | Minimize the program after starting the attack | 
| /dontstart OR /ds | Don't start the attack, just load/set the parameters from filename | 
The only mandatory parameter is filename. This is the name of a bsf-file that stores the name of the Word® or Excel® file to attack, starting and final blocks. To create this file, open a Word®/Excel® file in AOPB, specify the block range, and press Save without starting the attack; check Searching for encryption key for details. Alternatively, if you already had the attack running, you can use the auto-save file.
