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.
