recover winzip password
Advanced ZIP Password Recovery:
This program (Advanced ZIP Password Recovery, or simply AZPR)
can be used to recover the lost password for a ZIP archive. At
the moment, there is no known method to extract the password
from the compressed file, so the only available methods are
"brute force", dictionary-based and known-plaintext attacks.
- The program has a convenient user interface
- The program is very fast: up to fifteen million passwords per
second (on Pentium III)
- The program can work with archives containing only one
encrypted file (at about the same speed)
- 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 couple 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
- Very fast known-plaintext attack is available
- No special virtual memory requirements
- You can interrupt the program at any time, and start from the
same point later
- The program can work in the background, using the CPU only
when it is in idle state
