Idea for improvement

[marcelomacruz]

Hello, kimci86. How are you?

I would like to suggest a feature: a lot of times the user have have ate least one file unencrypted that are encrypted inside the encrypted zip file. The biggest problem is find the correct software (windup / winder / etc) + version of the software + compression level used (fast, normal, etc).

We know that the encrypted compressed file should have 12 bytes more than the unencrypted file compressed with the same software + version + compression level.

Is it possible to create a function or utility where the user enters the unencrypted file and multiple libraries are used to try to find a match?

Thank you very much for your amazing job. :)

You can crack password without knowing software version. You can use first byte archive signature, datestamp and byte at the end of archive. Post link for archive

Hello, this is a good idea.
It is for sure possible to automate guessing the compression parameters. Thank you for the suggestion.

I already opened an issue about this idea (#84) so I will close this one.
Feel free to open other issues if you have other ideas. Feedback is appreciated.

@User1818183 Not sure what you mean. Is it related to the suggested feature?
