CompressedCrack is a command-line tool that utilizes the brute-force method to crack any password-protected compressed file. It generates password combinations based on user-defined character sets and length range, and attempts to extract the archive using each generated password until the correct password is found.
- Supports various compressed file formats (e.g., zip, rar, 7z) using
patooliblibrary. - Allows customization of character sets (letters, numbers, special characters).
- Configurable minimum and maximum password lengths.
- Displays the found password, total number of attempts, and execution time.
- Verbose mode for detailed output during the cracking process.
- Python >= 3.6
You can install CompressedCrack directly from pip using the following command:
pip install compressedcrack
compressedcrack [-h] [--min-length MIN_LENGTH] [--max-length MAX_LENGTH] [--verbose] file_path
Crack password-protected archives using brute force.
positional arguments:
file_path Path to the compressed file.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--min-length MIN_LENGTH
Minimum password length.
--max-length MAX_LENGTH
Maximum password length.
--verbose Increase output verbosity.
When the script is started, the user will be asked for selecting character sets, including letters, numbers and special characters.
Default character sets:
- Letters:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ - Numbers:
0123456789 - Special characters:
!@#$%^&\*()-\_+=~[]{}|\:;"'<>,.?\
If no character types are selected, the script will use the combination of all default character sets.
Crack a password-protected file archive.zip with a minimum password length of 3 characters, maximum password length of 5 characters, verbose output, and the custom character set is abcdef12345:
compressedcrack --min-length 3 --max-length 5 --verbose archive.zip
