ZipRarHunter is a powerful command-line ethical hacking tool designed to crack passwords of ZIP and RAR archive files using a wordlist.It automates the process of password recovery from encrypted archives

• Cracking ZIP files encrypted with both ZipCrypto and AES-256 encryption

• Cracking RAR4 archives using multithreaded brute-force attacks (Also supports RAR5 if the paid version of UnRAR is installed)

• Improve cracking speed by specifying the number of threads with --threads option (default is 4)

• Efficient memory usage by reading wordlists line-by-line (streaming)

• Automatic detection of ZIP encryption methods

• Encoding fallback support (UTF-8 and Latin-1) for various wordlists

ZipRarHunter should be used responsibly and legally. Unauthorized use of this tool to crack passwords without permission is illegal and unethical.

ZipRarHunter uses command-line arguments to specify the target file, wordlist, file type (ZIP or RAR) and the number of threads.

ziprarhunter -f /path/to/archive.zip -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -t zip
ziprarhunter -f /path/to/archive.rar -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -t rar

• -f or --file: The path to the ZIP or RAR file you want to crack.
• -w or --wordlist: The path to the wordlist file that contains potential passwords.
• -t or --type: The type of archive. Acceptable values are zip or rar.
• --threads: Number of threads to use (default:4).

1. Crack a ZIP file with a wordlist:

ziprarhunter -f /path/to/archive.zip -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -t zip

2. Crack a RAR file with a wordlist:

ziprarhunter -f /path/to/archive.rar -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -t rar

3. Crack a zip file with 20 threads:

ziprarhunter -f /path/to/archive.zip -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -t zip --threads 20

Tried: password
Password found : password123
