-jumbo can crack passwords for RAR archives encrypted with the "-hp"
option, but not yet for those encrypted with the "-p" option. These two
options are briefly described here:
http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=15
"There are 2 different ways to encrypt a RAR archive; the rar CLI tool
exposes them through 2 options:
* -p option, which encrypts only the content of the files in the
archive, while file metadata (filenames...) are not encrypted
* -hp option, which encrypts the internal block headers that contain
file metadata, as well as the content of the files"
You may download sample RAR archives to crack with -jumbo here:
