DARKWOLF2054 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Does anyone have any suggestions for open source / free password recovery tools for archived file systems? 7z, RAR, ZIP, UIF, Etc? What I have tried so far is Backtrack 5s FCRACKZIP and from the internet RARCRACK-0.2. Fcrackzip keeps erroring out on the file saying - "is not a zipfile ver 2.xx, skipping". And Rarcrack only seems to allow brute forcing. I have compiled a dictionary that I would like to use but have encountered the aforementioned problems. Also, if I remember correctly their use to be demo's for password recovery programs that would tell you how long the recoverable password was and the first 3 or 4 characters. Does anyone remember or know if they still exist - it would make brute forcing more targeted. Thank you, DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Sounds like magic. Brute forcing/dictionary attacks are the only feasible methods given no knowledge of the password. Assuming the archives implementation of password based encryption is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You can try http://www.zip-backup.com/ free to register... only does zip (maybe rar) dont remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I use Crark to recover .RAR, the nice thing about this utility is that it uses the CUDA architecture to speed up the recovery process. http://www.crark.net/ On the other side of the scale we have ElcomSoft, cracks almost anything but its not free.
