How To Crack Zip File Password Using Cmd

Zip- is an archive/collection format, which is widely used on the Internet. Zip– files are data containers, & they store one or several files in the compressed form. Winrar provides complete-support for Zip-files. If you installed Winrar & download Zip-file format, you may double-click on the Zip file icon in order to open it in Winrar, select all files & then ‘Extract’ them, enter a destination path and press ‘ok’. You can crack the Zip-file password by using command prompt or cmd:

• Firstly, download and install Rar-crack or crack-
• Then open a terminal-operator/emulator.
• Write command: cd downloads / then,
• Command: tar – zxvf <package name>,
• Cmd : cd < new-directory>,
• Cmd: . / configure,
• Cmd: make && sudo-make install.
• In order to crack an Archive write command: fcrack-zip –b –c –a –l 5-6 desktop/screen-shot.zip,
• Then just wait for a moment for your archive’s passwords to be cracked.

Another way is:

• Make new-folder on your desktop,
• Then download the windows-batch file,
• Now browse to the –directory where WinRAR is installed on your system. Then find file-name.exe or convert the .bat file to .exe by using bat to exe converter & copy that file into that new-folder which you make on the desktop.
• Then after you copy the file-open, the batch file & enter the path to the archive in order to start cracking process.

How To Decrypt Zip File Without Password

Both WinZip and WinRAR use an Advanced-Encryption standard (AES). You can decrypt the Zip-file without using the password; it can be done by following phases:

• By using brute-force attack, an automated-software will use all of the dictionary-words & run all of them to match the file-password. It will try millions-of password on the zip-file until it gets the correct one. Just find a brute-force attack application.
• Then you have to install it & then set it to attack your locked-zip file.
• Brute-force with Mask-attack; in the form of decryption, mask is commonly used term & refers to the password-features which you still remember. Example: possible length of the password, letters,special-character (ponds, dollar, asterisk), what is the first and last character of the –password. You can use this form of attack if you know or remember the part of your password.
• Use Dictionary-attack: it is similar to the brute-force attack but it takes less or few time but it has a chance of failure. This attack term just uses a predefined word list in order to try & crack the file, but it has a chance of failure and does not save all that much compared to a brute-force attack it is best to use it (brute force attack).
• At last, once you find the password then you can open the file & remove/erase the password.

 How To Set Password On Zip File

WinZip creates Zip-file that is fulfilling with the specification, which is published in the Zip-application note. Encryption is applied/consumed to the file that is being zipped. This encryption added after the compression does not affect any other associative data.  Here are some steps in order to set a password on Zip-file:

• Firstly, locate the file, which you want to zip by using Windows-explorer.
• Right-click on the file & select send to and compressed folder (Zipped). This will create a new compressed-folder with the same name as the file.
• Then right-click any other file, which you want to compress, and select- copy.
• Right-click on that compressed-folder, which you created, & select-paste option. Then the copied-file pasted into the compressed-folder.
• Then right-click on the compressed-folder & then select explore.
• In File, select-add a password and enter the password & confirm the password.
