Version 1.0 (windows release)

Note: releases here are for windows users only. Run the (source code) perl script directly (by running the perl interpreter) for all other supported platforms (after installing the required dependencies).

This release adds support for splitted .7z archives (.7z.001, .7z.002, ...) and fixes some minor problems.

Credits go to the perl module authors and pp (PAR packager), with which I generated the .exe files from the .pl perl script.

Version 0.9 (windows release)

Note: releases here are for windows users only. Run the (source code) perl script directly (by running the perl interpreter) for all other supported platforms (after installing the required dependencies).

This release mainly reflects the changes done by hashcat itself (i.e. the newly added support for the LZMA1/LZMA2 decompressions and the changes in max. data length supported). Some minor problems were fixed too.

Credits go to the perl module authors and pp (PAR packager), with which I generated the .exe files from the .pl perl script.

Version 0.8 (windows release)

Note: releases here are for windows users only. Run the (source code) perl script directly (by running the perl interpreter) for all other supported platforms (after installing the required dependencies).

This release adds supports for .sfx files which contain 7z files. Some minor problems were fixed too.

Credits go to the perl module authors and pp (PAR packager), with which I generated the .exe files from the .pl perl script.

Version 0.7 (windows release)

Note: releases here are for windows users only. Run the (source code) perl script directly (by running the perl interpreter) for all other supported platforms (after installing the required dependencies).

The main goal of this release was to improve the compressed header reading (aka decompressing done by 7z2hashcat) and to update the hash format (see README.md) to allow password recovery software to crack also archives that have compressed-before-encrypted data. This release should therefore help the crackers to reduce both false positives and false negatives.

Credits go to the perl module authors and pp (PAR packager), with which I generated the .exe files from the .pl perl script.

Version 0.5 (windows only)

Note: releases here are for windows users only. Run the (source code) perl script directly (by running the perl interpreter) for all other supported platforms (after installing the required dependencies).

This release version mainly resolves some issues (like the wide-char problem), adds some additional warning/error messages and also adds some additional features like LZMA/LZMA2 data detection etc.

Credits go to the perl module authors and pp (PAR packager), with which I generated the .exe files from the .pl perl script.

Version 0.4

Note: releases here are for windows users only, for *nix users please use the perl script directly.

This release improves some reading of the 7z encrypted data to reduce memory consumption and speed up the process significantly for very large .7z files.

The release is mainly for windows users who do not want to install perl and the required module.

Credits go to the perl module authors and pp (PAR packer), with which I generated the .exe files from the .pl perl script.

Version 0.3

fixes a problem in get_decoder_properties ()

The release is mainly for windows users who do not want to install perl and the module needed.

Credits go to the perl module authors and pp (PAR packer), with which I generated the .exe files from the .pl perl script.

Version 0.2

Fixed a minor problem where perl's "next" instead of return was used.

The release is especially for windows users who do not want to install perl and all the modules.

This .exe was packed with pp (PAR packer) and credits go to the author of pp and the authors of the perl modules that were used.

Version 0.1 (windows only)

Note: this is just a .exe files for windows user (such that they do not need to install perl and install/compile the perl modules)

If possible prefer to run the .pl file, especially where it is easy to install
Version 0.1

Credits go to the PAR packer (pp) and the perl modules authors (like liblzma)
