Tutorial How to crack ANY zip or rar file

REQUIREMENTS:

# KALI LINUX

tutorial:

1) create a password protected zip file to practice on. Most distros you can just right click on a file and do 'create archive'. Make sure the password is all lowercase and 3 letters long for speed in testing.

2) type 'sudo apt-get install fcrackzip' to get fcrackzip.

3) navigate to the folder your zip is in (cd ...)

4) type fcrackzip -b -l 3 -c a -u yourzipfilename.zip
What this means is use fcrack zip
-b means use bruteforce (you can use a wordlist instead if you want)
-l 3 means the length of the password (which is 3 in this case), you can specify range or use number but using a range takes a long time.
-c a means use just lowercase, you can use a1 for letters and numbers etc.
-u means that it will do a test unzip to make sure password was correct. If you dont select this it is a bit faster but you will get a few passwords to try/sometimes it will be wrong.

5) wait. It can take a long time, especially if you used a range.

6) PASSWORD FOUND!!!!: pw == xxx

7) profit.
