If you forget your password for compressed archive (rar, 7z, zip), this program is the solution.This program uses bruteforce algorithm to find correct password. You can specify wich characters will be used in password generations.

Warning: Please don't use this program for any îllégâl things!

Preparing your system

First you need to install the following package

Code:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev build-essential

Now you need to download the latest version of rarcrack from here

Code:
wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rarcrack/rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2

Now you have rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2 file and you need to extract this file

Code:
tar -xjf rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2

Code:
cd rarcrack-0.2

Code:
make

You must be root to run the following command

Code:
make install

Using Rarcrack

Code:
rarcrack your_encrypted_archive.ext [--threads thread_num] [--type rar|zip|7z]

Example

Code:
rarcrack something.rar

After the cracking started RarCrack will print the current status of cracking and save it's to a status file. If you want more specific password character set, you need to run RarCrack to create the XML status file (3 sec).


Thanks debianadmin.com!
