Crack your Zip Files in Ubuntu with the Ultimate Zip Cracker

Why, the hell, another zip cracker? fcrackzip isnt just any other file cracker, it is quiet old (born in 1998) and I believe the last version was from 2004. However it is simple mentioned for being the first open-sourced zip-cracker out there.

fcrackzip searches each zipfile given for encrypted files and tries to guess the password. All files must be encrypted with the same password, the more files you provide, the better.

FCrackZip is The Ultimate password cracker for zip archives
fcrackzip is a fast password cracker partly written in assembler.
It is able to crack password protected zip files with brute
force or dictionary based attacks, optionally testing with
unzip its results.

It can also crack cpmask'ed images.

Homepage: http://www.goof.com/pcg/marc/fcrackzip.html
How to Install:

sudo apt-get install fcrackzip
Install with 1-click if you have apt-url installed and your using firefox!
Examples:
fcrackzip -c a -p aaaaaa sample.zip

checks the encrypted files in sample.zip for all lowercase 6 character passwords (aaaaaa ... abaaba ... ghfgrg ... zzzzzz).

fcrackzip --method cpmask --charset A --init AAAA test.ppm
checks the obscured image test.ppm for all four character passwords. -TP fcrackzip -D -p passwords.txt sample.zip check for every password listed in the file passwords.txt.

Howto: Crack Rar, 7z, and zip files with RarCrack in Ubuntu Linux

Ever run into the problem where you created a password protected zip/rar file and you forgot the password or accidentally deleted it? Or just dont know the password at all? Well I have come across a nice solution for cracking zip/rar files. Its called rarcrack, If you forget your password for compressed archive (rar, 7z, zip), this program is the solution.
This program uses bruteforce algorithm to find correct password. You can specify which characters will be used in password generations.


Download RarCrack
wget http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rarcrack/rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2
Install RarCrack
tar xvjf rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2
cd rarcrack-0.2
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
make ; sudo make install
Using RarCrack:

rarcrack your_encrypted_archive.ext [--threads thread_num] [--type rar|zip|7z]
Everything in [] are optional, rarcrack default crack two threads and autodetect the archive type. If the detection wrong you can specify the correct file type with the type parameter. RarCrack currently crack maximum in 12 threads.

After the cracking started RarCrack will print the current status of cracking and save it's to a status file. If you want more specific password character set, you need to run RarCrack to create the XML status file (3 sec).

There will be a sample XML file, and you see there is a character set. If you want, you can modify this file and when you start RarCrack again the program will be use new variables.
Warning: Take care when you changing this file, make sure the current password don't have characters outside the abc[character set]!

Know of any other rar/zip/7z cracking tools worth mentioning?

Clean up Duplicate Files, Symlinks, Directories in Ubuntu with an easy GUI!


I have 8TB of archived music, movies, games, applications,iso's, and documents from the past 12 years that I have saved and accumulated and have been plagued by having the same files copied in multiple locations across all my drives. Over the years I have re-downloaded music, movies, and tons of other things that I already have... It really sucks when I download something and run this application and notice I already have it... Other than this issue, I have gigs of config files that are duplicates that needed to be cleaned. So ive been using a program called FSLint, It means Filesystem Lint. So lets get to work and clean the lint from our drives shall we?

Lets install FsLint
clickme for 1-click install! or:
sudo apt-get install fslint
Ok now that FsLint is install you will be able to access it via Applications->System Tools->FSLint
As default it will have your home directory selected.

Here are the options you have to choose from:
Find Duplicate Files
Find Installed Packages
Find Bad Named files
Find Name Clashes
Find Temp Files
Find Bad/Broken Symlinks
Find Bad Id's
Find Empty Directories
Find Non-Striped Binaries
Find Redundant Whitespace

You are given Advanced Search options to exclude certain directories that dont apply to the above Search Patterns

Once you select one of the search options and select your search directory, click find, it will take a while depending on drive speed, processing power, and drive size. Once done searching it will give you options to delete the duplicates, save duplicate list and Merge.

I hope this tool is helpful to others, I personally think this tool should be integrated into nautilus.
Happy Cleaning!
