Our Review: Zip Key is super-fast and super-powerful at recovering lost passwords for encrypted ZIP archives. The drag-and-drop interface allows you to easily recover passwords and the advanced settings offer a variety of methods to crack that difficult archive. You can choose to limit permutations to only english words, or extend the symbol dictionary to include non-english characters. Brute-force methods can hammer their way in - averaging well above 600,000 permutations per second in its attempts. Zip Key also offers a way to break in to an archive if you have a copy of a known enclosed text file - the archive can be decrypted using that text file as a key. Excellent stuff - this demo limits decryption to passwords 3 characters or less.
