- Abstract: Fcrackzip is a password cracker written in assembler in part. It can break password-protected zip files using brute force or dictionary-based attacks, and it can optionally verify the results with unzip. Fcrackzip looks for encrypted messages in each zip file and attempts to guess the password. All files must be password-encrypted, and the more files you have, the better. Have you ever typed a password for unzip incorrectly? Unzip immediately responded with an automated message about an incorrect password instead of decrypting the entire file. But while zip's encryption algorithm is highly acceptable, PK made cracking simple by including hooks in the zip file for very efficient password-checking. Crunch is a program that thus generates a set of words. In Kali Linux, it's a password attack tool. Dictionary Attack is the most specific use. You might choose a standard character set, a number, or symbols here. It is responsible for generating all possible permutations and combinations.
