Subject: Re: Extracting CRC of files from RAR archive
The point is - I recover the whole file from to get the remaining 8-10
bytes by brute-force generating last lines of file and computing theirs'
CRC - if it matches - I'm done. I'm not brute-forcing the password, since
it is 64 characters long, lowercase, upercase, digits, special symbols, and
no way it can be guessed in rational time.
As I understand c43d7b00400700 is "Terminator" block, and it is constant,
that's why it is possible to speed up brute-force of password by testing
encryption on small block, not on whole file. But it seems that with -hp
there is no way to extract CRC of non encrypted files(unrar uses them to
test if files were correctly deciphered with given password), because file
headers are encrypted just as usual data. Still there is a hope, because it
is just a single file, even with known filename and size, but without
CRC(of original file) it is not possible to perform successful attack.
