Advanced ZIP Password Recovery
Advanced ZIP Password Recovery is a program for recovering lost or forgotten passwords for ZIP/PKZip/WinZip archives. Unfortunately, there is no known method to extract the password from the compressed file instantly; so the only available methods are brute-force, dictionary-based and known-plaintext attacks.
Advanced ZIP Password Recovery supports the customizable "brute-force" attack, effectively optimized for speed (up to ten million passwords per second on modern CPUs); dictionary-based attack, and very fast and effective known-plaintext attack. All ZIP versions and compression methods are supported. Multilanguage interface is provided.
Features:
- The program has a convenient user interface
- The program is very fast: on 1GHz CPU, it tests about fifteen million passwords per second (or about a billion passwords per minute ) - according to independent reviewers and experts, the fastest ZIP cracker in the world!
- Very fast and effective known plaintext attack is available
- The program can work with archives containing only one encrypted file
- ZIP files created by various software packages (including PKZIP 1.x) are supported
- All compression methods (storing, imploding, shrinking, inflating) are supported
- Self-extracting archives are supported
- The program is customizable : you can set the password length (or length range), the character set to be used to generate the passwords, and a lot of other options
- You can select the custom character set for brute-force attack (non-English characters are supported)
- Dictionary-based attack is available
- The "brute-force with mask" attack is available
- No special virtual memory requirements
- You can interrupt the program at any time, and resume from the same point later
- The program can work in the background , using the CPU only when it is in idle state.
Limitations:
If the archive contains only one encrypted file and it is "stored" (without compression, just with encryption) -- the performance might be lower than expected, especially on large files, because decrypting the whole file is required.
If the archive contains two or more encrypted files, the program assumes that all of them are encrypted with the same password.
