-- What ----------------------------------------------------------------
Cracker-ng, a multiple file cracker.
For now, there are these modules:
zip cracker (zip, apm, ipa),
ccrypt cracker (cpt)
What this tool does _not_:
1. call a tierce tool like unrar or unzip to check the password
2. compute permutations or create wordlists (will change)
What this tool does:
1. understand the data format (see modules/*)
2. check the password using the way official tool does
3. eventually use optimized routines
4. read passwords from STDIN:
1. john, crunch or whatever you want for bruteforce attacks
2. cat (or whatever you want) for wordlist attack
-- Man -----------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: cracker-ng
Examples with ZIP module:
* wordlist attack:
cat wordlist.lst | zipcracker-ng file[.zip]
* bruteforce attack:
john --incremental --stdout | zipcracker-ng file[.zip]
crunch 1 8 -f charset.lst lalpha | zipcracker-ng file[.zip]
-- Why -----------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote this tool when I saw poor resources we have on *unix for ZIP and
RAR files password cracking. Hope it will be helpful.
