Advanced Archive Password Recovery is a powerful software that recovers passwords for ZIP and RAR archives. It offers exceptional performance for even the most intricate passwords and guarantees successful password recovery for many types of ZIP files.
Whether you have a password you remember, or are completely blank about it, Advanced Archive Password Recovery is designed to cater to both situations. It will use every bit of information about the password to recover it even faster. In cases where passwords are unknown, it automatically attempts dictionary and brute-force attacks.
If you have just a single file from the encrypted archive, fret not. The software can unlock the entire archive and decrypt all files in minutes, irrespective of the length and complexity of the password, thanks to the known-plaintext attack.
The software is designed to take advantage of the weaknesses in the implementation of encryption schemes used in early versions of WinZip, specifically versions 8.0 and earlier. This vulnerability allows Advanced Archive Password Recovery to unlock such archives in under one hour, guaranteed, if there are 5 or more files in the archive.
The software carries out different types of attacks to unlock passwords effectively. The dictionary attack targets passwords based on words in a human language, while the brute-force attack works when everything else fails. The intuitive user interface allows specifying a variety of masks and attacks, while the highly-optimized low-level code ensures optimal performance and the quickest password recovery for the most complex passwords.
Low-level optimization allows the software to achieve password recovery speeds of millions per second. Running Advanced Archive Password Recovery in the background effectively utilizes idle CPU cycles without affecting regular work. Should you need to halt the recovery process, it's possible to stop and resume it without loss of progress.
In conclusion, if you have password-protected archives you cannot access, Advanced Archive Password Recovery offers an impressive solution to unlock them. The software is highly efficient and capable of unlocking even complex passwords with ease.
