All versions of WinZip and PKZip are supported Fast password recovery engine - up to 3,500,000 passwords checked per second on an average P-II system Brute-Force, Xieve™, Known Plaintext or Dictionary attacks are used to recover the password Additional user dictionaries support, case changes, multiple mistypes and other modifications for each dictionary word Program automatically saves password search state and can resume after a stop or a crash Patterns can be used to minimize search time if any part of the password is known Non-English characters in passwords are supported Self-Extracting Zip Files (SFX) are supported 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.
