Brute Forcing password protected zip files
A brute force attack is a trial and error method used by application programs to Crack encrypted data like passwords by trying many possible combinations. You need to create an application using python/shell that can crack open a password protected zip folder. You need to:
- Create a zip file and encrypt it by giving a password.
- Create a wordlist(Make sure your password is in the wordlist, if you actually start brute forcing a zip files using a big wordlist it might take a long time).
- Run your script against the zip file you encrypted.
Deliverables:
You have to submit:
- The code for your own brute force tool
- The zip file you cracked, and
- The Asciinema
Put all of that in a Pagure/GitHub repo and share the link with me.
