All zip password hacker will work if the password used is small (abt 4 charecters) and if the charecters in the password are all simple words. Otherwise if the password is longer than 6 charecters and if it uses special charecters like @#$% etc in it. Then ur wasting your time. Its not gonna crack for ages. Trust me becoz ive tried it before usin all the software mentioned above :D

Advanced zip password recovery only works for simple passwords which r 4 letters long, and if u have an higher encryption like 128 / 256 bit one then no way can u crack that baby open

Advanced zip password recovery works nice. you can first try with various dictionary , like english alphabets, special charecters, websites, computer terminology etc. there are various kinds of dictionories available on the net for download.

A password cracker and a software crack is different :D ie a password cracked (provided that you use it to recover your forgotten password) is legal but using crack for software is illegal. BTW hacking is not synonymous to an illegal activity.

If sw mentioned above can be used under brute-force attack if pw is less than say 7 characters.

If you are trying to find password of zip files that you have created, then you might remember some words here and there so make a dictionary

Use excel to type password in column and then sort the column and then save the file as txt, then it can be used for dictionary attack

you can use yr logic while typing passwords like

Code:
newdelhi1
newdelhi2
...
newdelhi10
spiderman
spidermanXP
...

I guess you got what I mean to say!

Encrption in rar is quite strong and we cannot break password lenght more than as it takes alot of resoucres

It seems u have to spend this millenia hackin the password, hacking passwords,esp. RAR, (the longer it is, the longer it takes (exponentially)) takes up a lot of chip power and time (read 100s of years); even with the best password recovery sw!!!
And downloaded password encrypted compressed files are mostly rar...

Hey!!! If it's a known word (not name or so) then there is a way out. U get dictionaries, word lists with some Password recovering sw for dictionary attack. They could speeden up things to about 1/2 an hr. Or the password has to be small (max of 4 letters). That is ur only way out. Anything more takes infinity.

U might need a grid of supercomputers to get this done with asap

IF U WANNA HEAR FROM THE EXPERTS : GO HERE;

RAR archives are encrypted by the much stronger AES-128 standard; now READ THIS

HERE

AND HERE (might relieve u a bit)

HELP ON PASSWORDS

A better idea will be to dump the file.. collect new ones...

For ur happiness & experimentation... try these
Advanced Archive Password Recovery
RAR Password Cracker
Rar Key

Try this too


(Psst) Tip: Most of the times, the password will be the site name (full name) or owner names... Don't say it to anybody ;) :) :) :) )

Here we are not dicussing about hacking or cracking, its about "recovering" the password. Comeon, cant someone forget his password?? Dont we have the "Forgot password" link everywhere?? So this discussion is perfectly leagal and within the TOS of the forum. (BTW, FYI, i have not participated in this discussion as of yet cuz i dont like to post if im not interested in the topic.)

forgetting passwords is sacrelige.

Passwords r for others to forget not them who create them.

It may be a private zip file of others we r tryin ta open (cant it???)
