How to crack password protected zip files?

Have you ever miss typed or forgot your password  for unziping a password protected zip file?Then these lite tool will be the best solution for it.There are many tools for cracking the passwords of zip files in linux operating system like "John The Ripper"  "Hash Cat" etc. but this lite tool is stable,open source and also quite easy to use.So the Tool that i am talking about is "Fcrackzip" .

SYNOPSIS

       fcrackzip   [-bDBchVvplum2]   [--brute-force]   [--dictionary]   [--benchmark]
       [--charset characterset] [--help]  [--validate]  [--verbose]  [--init-password
       string/path]  [--length  min-max] [--use-unzip] [--method name] [--modulo r/m]
       file...

DESCRIPTION

fcrackzip searches each zipfile given for encrypted files and tries  to  guess the  password.  All  files  must be encrypted with the same password, the more files you provide, the better.

Lets Get Started with the Installation proccess and usage.

For Kali users:

Installation Proccess:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install fcrackzip

For Termux users:

Installation Proccess:

apt update

apt upgrade
git clone https://github.com/hyc/fcrackzip
cd fcrackzip-1.0
make configure
make install
make mkinstalldirs
mv fcrackzip /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin

Usage of "Fcarckzip"

please checkout the manual of fcrackzip before using just by giving the command : man fcarckzip

You can also check out the help option of the tool just by using the command: fcrackzip -h

Lets take an example of this:
Suppose the password of the protected zip file be in numbers. 

Then we can use the below command to proceed:

fcrackzip -b -c 1 -v -u zipex.zip

Here -b is for brute force algorithm.
         -c is for characterset.
         -v is for verbose.
         -u is for unzip.
And -c 1 is for the characterset for numerical passwords.

Here are some example of charcaterset:
              a   include all lowercase characters [a-z]
                A   include all uppercase characters [A-Z]
                1   include the digits [0-9]
                !   include [!:$%&/()=?{[]}+*~#]
                :   the following characters up to the end of the spe-cification string are included in the character set.This way you can include any character except binary null (at least under unix).

I will be uploading the advanced practical video on passwd strings,dictionery attacks very soon!

Tips : For fast performance you can include the length of the password for ex. fcrackzip -b -c 1 -l 5-6 -v -u zipex.zip
