Publisher's description of Advanced ZIP Password Recovery 4

From ElcomSoft:

This program is designed for recovering lost or forgotten passwords for ZIP, PKZip, or WinZip archives. It supports customizable brute-force attack, dictionary-based attack, and known-plain-text attack, and effectively optimized for speed (about fifteen million passwords per second on Pentium 4). Multilanguage user interface is provided. Version 4.0 has improved user interface, digitally-signed setup program, and better speed of brute-force attacks (on 10%-15% on AMD Athlon, PII/PIII and P4 Prescott, and on 45% on P4 Northwood).

• Version reviewed: Advanced ZIP Password Recovery 4

You thought you were so clever, keeping your secret data in a password-protected ZIP file. Now you've gone and locked yourself out. Never fear: Advanced ZIP Password Recovery is on the case. With its clear and convenient interface, you can easily select brute-force, mask, dictionary, or plain-text attacks to bust that password open. In our tests, the program took 10 minutes to crack a five-letter password, checking all possible characters in brute-force mode. It doesn't consume much memory and can work in the background, using the CPU only during idle states so as not to slow your system. As with most such programs, the free version cracks only small passwords--in this case, five characters or fewer--so you'll have to pony up to recover a really complicated passphrase. But for those who need it, Advanced ZIP Password Recovery gives good value for the money.

  "It takes you days to recover your password"

  by jmontoya2000 on June 26, 2006

  Pros: It is good idea in general but it does not work at all

  Cons: Can you wait 2 or more days to recover your password? I can not!

  "Worthless demo!"

  by wildact on September 5, 2007

  Cons: First of all, what are the odds that you or anyone else has chosen a password that is only 5 characters long? Almost every button you click causes a window to pop up which reminds you that you need to pay the developer in order to use any options that may actually work. I would not recommend downloading it unless you already know that you're going to buy it.

  "this software is useful and can be a problem solver if you have enough time"

  by volitivo on September 2, 2007

  Pros: this software shed the light on many features and can be a useful software for cracking ZIP passwords.

  Cons: this software problem are: very slow (in brute force mode) \ practically speaking you cannot speed it up because of the huge number of passwords. even if you have a very fast PC this will speed it up a little

  "Program to recover password for most archives."

  by poizhan on July 20, 2007

  Pros: It's great, the first time I used it, I tried a brute force on the archive, it didn't find any results but then I tried a dictionary attack on the archive, and within seconds it picked out the correct archive password! Great little application!

  Cons: You have to pay for it to access advanced features.
