Hello and thanks for the detailed explanation. Because of it I have just tried archiving few movies in 7z with the simple password ASD. 7z2hashcat with the fix worked like a charm, I was able to extract the hash and find the password in seconds. The archive size is 43GB but which is most important it consist of 26 folders and 121 files only. The archive I'm trying to crack is having 142 folders and 10520 files. Based on this I guess the problem on my side is related to the "long" file list instead to the actual archive size.
While waiting for the fixes I will appreciate if anyone can suggest effective way of attacking 7z if I have some of the files un-encrypted. Thank you.
