This isn’t trying “EVERY” combination? It’s skipping over the password that’s set on the file.

Any ideas?

Zip file is sometimes called an “archive” file. The Zip file itself is really just a container..

You can use some tool to recovery it.

like ZIP Password recovery 5.0 is an easy and effective utility, designed to recover lost or forgotten passwords for ZIP/PKZip/WinZip archives.

Hey, how do I do something like this in windows? I’ve tried downloading a number of password cracking programs but many require a license which I dont wanna pay for.
any suggestions?

Try copying it to home directory then type in terminal fcrackzip -c a -p aaaaaa ~/Sample.zip (number of a stans for number of char.)… hope this helped

hi Dado,

I tried with your advise but the problem is that the file name inside password-protected zip file is in this order
file 1.jpg. The main problem is that there is space between file (filename) and number(i.e. 1 in this case). So I tried using wild characters like ? or * but did not work. Do you have any idea?

There is another way to extract a files form a password protected zip archive rather than crack a password. Let’s say we created a directory /tmp/test and put some files in it. I put /bin/bash, /bin/bunzip2, /bin/bzcat. Then we create a archive file like this: zip archive /tmp/test/* -e . Now files cannot be extracted without a password but it is possible to do this.
To view contest of archive do unzip -l archive.zip. To extract a file from it do:
unzip archive tmp/test/bash | cat /tmp/test/bash > bash
