Maybe Solar can answer this one.

Sadly, I couldn't find any program which can do this. I wrote the
program for fun. Good luck with the OpenCL implementation.

I am working on a similar key brute-forcer for PDF files where the key
calculation is expensive (50 rounds of MD5). OpenCL implementation
will be useful there.
