Out of executable files, we only support those that are actually
self-extracting archives of one of the types we support. So please give
these 3 tools a try:
We have some self-extracting archive support in rar2john and 7z2john.pl.
We don't have explicit self-extracting archive support in zip2john, but
I expect it'll work on self-extracting ZIP archives anyway. With recent
versions (this year's), you might need the "-s" option:
Usage: ./zip2john [options] [zip file(s)]
-s Scan archive from the beginning, looking for local file headers. This
is less reliable than going by the central index, but might work better
with corrupted or split archives.
With older versions, this was the default behavior, so this option was
not needed.
As usual, I recommend that you try our latest code off GitHub.
