WinZip Encryption

Post by verbal »

I don't know about you fucks, but for me, family and friends always call me with any and all computer issues. My best friend calls me on Friday. He is frantic because he bought a new notebook and he zipped his school documents up and encrypted it with a password containing letters, numbers and symbols. He asks me if I can do a password recovery for him as he was baked while doing this. Encryption on the latest version of WinZip is pretty fucking good so I opted to find a brute force tool. Ultimate Zip Cracker attacked this file for 14 hours and actually did the job. I truly believed my buddy was fucked and rightfully so. Anyway I was impressed so I thought I would share.

Should of sent him to one of the services where he would have had to pay to have it unzipped. Nothing like having to use your hard earned $$$ to learn a lesson.

Nice save.
