Subject: Re: restore difficult zip password
Hi Kamil!
How difficult is this password exactly? Is it totally random? What set
of characters have you used? Do you remember anything about this
password? E.g. it's length, internal structure (how many letters or
digits and where) and so on. JtR has mask mode and if you narrow it
down, maybe it'll be faster then incremental. Also, incremental mode
uses different char-sets, so if you know that there were e.g. only
digits and letters, then "alnum" will be a lot faster than ascii
char-set. Moreover, besides --max-length JtR has --min-length option, so
if you remember that your password is longer than e.g. 4 characters,
then use --min-length=5 and you will not waste time for passwords that
are shorter (less difficult) and incorrect.
Best Regards
