Subject: Re: cracking encrypted zip file
I just tried running it on a short list of the most likely words to see if
anything jumps out. Ran for ~5 mins and just got "session completed" at the
end, which I assume means nothing was found.
I got the following message when I started it:
"Warning: detected hash type "ZIP", but the string is also recognised as
"ZIP-opencl"
Use the "--form=ZIP-opencl" option to force loading these as that type
instead"
Any issue with that?
Then:
"Using default input encoding: UTF8
Loaded 1 password hash (ZIP, WinZip, [PKDF2-SHA1 128/128 AVX 4x1)"
Does that look right? The reference to PKDF2-SHA1 instead of AES concerns
me, but I appreciate that could just be my ignorance showing.
I'm going to run a test to see if it finds a known password.
Thanks again
Jasper
