ZipCrack is a simple yet effective batch script designed to automate the process of unlocking password-protected ZIP files. By utilizing a dictionary attack method, it systematically attempts to extract the contents of the ZIP file using a list of potential passwords stored in a text file.
This script automates the process of attempting to unlock a password-protected ZIP file using a list of passwords stored in a text file (the dictionary).
- ZIP File: The target file that is password-protected.
- Password Dictionary: A text file containing potential passwords, with each password listed on a new line.
- Batch Script: A script that uses a command-line tool (such as
7-ZiporWinRAR) to attempt to extract the ZIP file with each password from the dictionary.
- The script reads each password from the dictionary file.
- It attempts to extract the ZIP file using the current password.
- If the extraction is successful, the script reports the successful password; if not, it continues to the next password.
- Install Required Tools: Ensure you have either
7-ZiporWinRARinstalled on your system. - Configure the Script:
- Set the names of the ZIP file and the password dictionary in the batch script.
- Run the Script: Execute the batch script to begin the dictionary attack.
- Make sure you have permission to access the ZIP file before attempting to unlock it.
