In this article we will see a technique to find the password of a protected zip file using the free Linux distro called Kali Linux.

Find the password of a protected zip file

Let’s start with the guide. Open the terminal and type:

gedit text

A new txt file is opened, we write inside the protected test file. Now we’re going to zipper and secure the file. We write the command:

zip –password hello text.zip text

OK, now let’s open the file with this command:

unizip text.zip

The system will ask us to enter the password.

 We can see all the tool options typing:

fcrackzip –hello

Set the tool with the chosen parameters and write the command:

fcrackzip -b -c a -l 1-5 -u text.zip

Perfect, we found the password!

How you can see finding the password of a protected zip file was very simple and fast.
