new to this, how can I simply crack a winzip file? - Marcc - 02-05-2017
Hi there, tks for the opportunity.
I know nothing about Linux, command line, programming, etc
I need to crack the password of a winzip file I have. I am just curious what is in this file of mine I can t remember the password. It is probably between 4 to 8 digits, numbers and letters.
If I could find the first digit I am sure I can "guess" the rest
I have tried several windows programs, brute force, dic attack, etc, none helped at all
Any good soul out there could give me a "step by step" on how to use hashcat to solve my problem?
Thank you!

hi there,
u should try zip2john ,it will output an hash, run this hash on/with hashcat
running it only on digit with mask attack will be fast and easy.
heres a guide with john the ripper

if u are looking to crack ur hash with hashcat , just follow the guide untill u get the hash, so instead of running it on JTR just do it on hashcat.

A zip file that old is likely PKZIP which hashcat does not yet support.

Hi Kiara!
While I really appreciate your help and suggestion, I do not have the knowledge to use what you suggested.
Sorry (!) but I need something with an interface
Tks again.
