842 | fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html) |
|
|
843 | <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others. |
|
|
844 | |
|
|
845 | <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3> |
|
|
846 | |
|
|
847 | Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with |
|
|
848 | fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently |
|
|
849 | I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of |
|
|
850 | them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact, |
|
|
851 | none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either |
|
|
852 | they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do |
|
|
853 | brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!. |
|
|
854 | |
|
|
855 | <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3> |
|
|
856 | |
|
|
857 | [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway |
|
|
858 | people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to |
|
|
859 | provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the |
|
|
860 | Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip? |
|
|
861 | |
|
|
862 | <ul><li> |
|
|
863 | <p>FREE</p> |
|
|
864 | |
|
|
865 | <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and |
|
|
866 | the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your |
|
|
867 | needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me, |
|
|
868 | and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p> |
|
|
869 | |
|
|
870 | <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast |
|
|
871 | zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it |
|
|
872 | further, in an open developement style.</p> |
|
|
873 | |
|
|
874 | <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the |
|
|
875 | executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is |
|
|
876 | difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't |
|
|
877 | want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody |
|
|
878 | knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but |
|
|
879 | common, behaviour)</p> |
|
|
880 | |
|
|
881 | </li><li> |
|
|
882 | <p>FAST</p> |
|
|
883 | |
|
|
884 | <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12% |
|
|
885 | slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of |
|
|
886 | fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit |
|
|
887 | faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this |
|
|
888 | is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims |
|
|
889 | that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might |
|
|
890 | well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is |
|
|
891 | almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p> |
|
|
892 | |
|
|
893 | </li><li> |
|
|
894 | <p>PORTABLE</p> |
|
|
895 | |
|
|
896 | <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms, |
|
|
897 | even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear |
|
|
898 | about portability problems so I can fix them.</p> |
|
|
899 | |
|
|
900 | </li><li> |
|
|
901 | <p>FEATUREFUL</p> |
|
|
902 | |
|
|
903 | <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more |
|
|
904 | useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports |
|
|
905 | multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is |
|
|
906 | only a few hours old!</p> |
|
|
907 | |
|
|
908 | <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to |
|
|
909 | brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I |
|
|
910 | know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers |
|
|
911 | don't have.</p> |
|
|
912 | |
|
|
913 | <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p> |
|
|
914 | |
|
|
915 | </li></ul> |
|
|
916 | |
|
|
917 | <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3> |
|
|
918 | |
|
|
919 | <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip |
|
|
920 | is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice) |
|
|
921 | features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand, |
|
|
922 | fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can |
|
|
923 | always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it |
|
|
924 | clear now ;)</p> |
