Subject: Re: PKZIP and GPU acceleration

I get it.

It's a pity there isn't a decent gpu-enabled cracker for old zip format
that can employ all the tricks (handling multiple files in archive, doing
some (semi-reliable) quick MIME type checks against file extension or
benefiting from having a cleartext version of any file in the archive,
tricks like that. Many of those would not fill well in a framework of an
existing password cracker and would be hard/not possible to implement
without refactoring which would be an overkill for just one format that is
less and less used I guess.
