mkfifo crackpipe
crunch 1 100 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 >> crackpipe
in another terminal substitute the wordlist in the .zip cracker for crackpipe.

Cracking P/W protected .zip or .rar files?
One of the folks at my work forgot her password to a zip file with some important docs in it. I checked to see if she had any copies of any of the contained docs outside of the zip and there are none. I have been given full permission to try to access this file.
Can anyone suggest anything I can do to break into this file assuming she used a strong password? Backtrack 3 or otherwise?
I have tried using some x86 based zip crackers with some password lists I have dug up and no luck as of yet.
Thanks in advance... please move this if I posted this in the incorrect forum

if a solution to a problem is stupid and works, it is not stupid.

Hmm... might need to find a box I can put some extra ram in and start it up...Originally Posted by Yottabit

Then check to see if it figured anything out by next month lol
Thanks for the help!
yup, sit there, brute-force the file, and come back next X-MASHmm... might need to find a box I can put some extra ram in and start it up...

Did the poster ever get anywhere on this ? I for one would be interested to see what
was used and how !
If the password is half way decent, cracking a file like this is going to take forever. Directions are in post #2.
ThinkPad T400
well.. for interest's sake then
I am having trouble figuring out exactly what is meant in post #2
Have done quite a bit of searching on the forums and cant find any info on
how a crack could be actvated on an archive file.
I presume that a wordlist or the like could be included in one way or another ?
Sure you can head down to elcomsoft.. but it would be a lot nicer if it can
be done with command line no ?
Just interested in the outcome !
