CompressedCrack is a command-line tool that utilizes the brute-force method to crack any password-protected compressed file. It generates password combinations based on user-defined character sets and length range, and attempts to extract the archive using each generated password until the correct password is found.

• Supports various compressed file formats (e.g., zip, rar, 7z) using patoolib library.
• Allows customization of character sets (letters, numbers, special characters).
• Configurable minimum and maximum password lengths.
• Displays the found password, total number of attempts, and execution time.
• Verbose mode for detailed output during the cracking process.

• Python >= 3.6

You can install CompressedCrack directly from pip using the following command:

pip install compressedcrack

compressedcrack [-h] [--min-length MIN_LENGTH] [--max-length MAX_LENGTH] [--verbose] file_path

Crack password-protected archives using brute force.

positional arguments:
  file_path             Path to the compressed file.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --min-length MIN_LENGTH
                        Minimum password length.
  --max-length MAX_LENGTH
                        Maximum password length.
  --verbose             Increase output verbosity.

When the script is started, the user will be asked for selecting character sets, including letters, numbers and special characters.

Default character sets:

• Letters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
• Numbers: 0123456789
• Special characters: !@#$%^&\*()-\_+=~[]{}|\:;"'<>,.?\

If no character types are selected, the script will use the combination of all default character sets.

Crack a password-protected file archive.zip with a minimum password length of 3 characters, maximum password length of 5 characters, verbose output, and the custom character set is abcdef12345:

compressedcrack --min-length 3 --max-length 5 --verbose archive.zip
