Help with a password on zip file

[Dirk Diggler]

Looking for some help to unlock a zip file as I've forgotten the password.

I'm pretty sure I know the words, I just can't remember the order. The words are separated by numbers and start and end with upper case characters.

e.g. CasT23LorrY15BrickS24

Help!

P.S. to clarify, I'm looking for crack software that can take the known words and try combinations.

This might help.

Could put the known words into a dictionary

 

[Dirk Diggler]

I've been trying a few of those, but can't seem to work out how to configure the dictionary.

@Frozennova I'll try that one you've posted.

Should be a text file with one word per line

Should be a text file with one word per line

I've done that, but it's still going through individual letters.

Edit: What I'm trying to do is specify the words as I know what they are (people's names).

What does the software I linked do if you empty the charset. You could even set the min/max length to 1 char

 

[Dirk Diggler]

If I empty the charset then it tries each word in the dictionary, but doesn't try combinations of those words together.

 

[PMKeates]

You could just build a list of all the possible combinations and put that straight in the dictionary.

Yea, I'm trying that now.

No chance if its AES-128 or 256bit encrypted, no really you don't stand a chance.

I tried years ago on a 500gb file, no chance as it was encrypted, it can be done you and I will be long dead before its cracked.

He's not trying to break the encryption, he's trying to guess the password.

Hashcat seems to be one of the go to ones nowadays, and can use your GPU / distributed clients to accelerate things: https://hashcat.net/hashcat/

It's commandline, but you can get a GUI that looks pretty powerful:

Must be some great porn to be going to this much trouble

i tried numerous programs like the above on a Word file password, all were total ********. brute force/dictionary attacks are a total waste of time if people have used any sensible password parameters.

Ouch!

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Good news! I cracked the password old fashioned style (eventually remembered it).

Bad news...

He's not trying to break the encryption, he's trying to guess the password.

But to get into the file, all files and his password will be encrypted.

NM he has remembered it.

As a side note, cash is king that's why I have never bothered with electronic money as in bitcoins etc.
