Recover lost or forgotten passwords to RAR/WinRAR archives
Advanced RAR Password Recovery (or simply ARPR) can be used to recover lost or forgotten passwords
for a RAR/WinRar archives. Unfortunately, there is no known method to extract the password from
the compressed file; so the only available methods are brute-force and dictionary-based attacks.
Please take in mind, however, that RAR encryption is VERY strong, and even on very fast CPUs it
is possible to test not more than 2000 passwords per second. So brute-force attack is effective for
short passwords only (up to 5 or 6 characters), and if the password is longer and dictionary
attack didn't help -- you're out of luck. Anyway, here is a brief list of ARPR's advantages:
- The program has a convenient user interface
- The program can work with archives containing only one encrypted file
- All compression methods are supported (note: from RAR 2.0 to RAR 2.8 only)
- Self-extracting archives are supported
- The program is customizable: you can set the password length (or length range), the character set to be used to generate the passwords, and a lot of other options
- You can select the custom character set for brute-force attack (non-English characters are supported)
- Dictionary-based attack is available
- The "brute-force with mask" attack is available
- No special virtual memory requirements
- You can interrupt the program at any time, and restart from the same point later
- The program can work in the background, using the CPU only when it is in idle state
