Cracker-ng

Cracker-ng, a multiple file password finder. For now, there are these modules:

• zip cracker (zip, winzip, apm, ipa, and all zip based files),
• ccrypt cracker (cpt, antigift) [from the 2nd version (1.1) to the latest (1.10), 1.0 is buggy]

What this tool does not:

• call a tierce tool like unrar or unzip to check the password (and will never)
• compute permutations (will change) or create wordlists

What this tool does:

• understand the data format (see src/*)
• check the password using the way official tool does
• use optimized routines
• read passwords from a wordlist or STDIN:
  • cat, john, crunch or whatever you want for wordlist attack

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/BoboTiG/cracker-ng.git
$ cd cracker-ng

For testers and contributors, always work with on the devel branch:

$ git checkout devel

To show available commands:

$ make

Example to build the ZIP module:

$ make zip

Build the debug version (for testers and contributors):

$ DEBUG=1 make zip

The final executable file will be stored into bin folder.

Man

Usage: <MODULE>cracker-ng -f FILE

Examples with ZIP module:

# Using STDIN to use power of other tools
$ cat wordlist.lst | zipcracker-ng -f FILE  -
$ john --incremental --stdout | zipcracker-ng -f FILE -
$ crunch 1 8 -f charset.lst lalpha | zipcracker-ng -f FILE -

# Or using a wordlist
$ zipcracker-ng -f FILE -w wordlist.lst

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.
