Part 4. 4 Intelligent Password Attacks

ZIP Password Recovery allows you four unique options for recovering your passwords. A rule of thumb when selecting a tool is that it should have as many password attacks as possible. This gives you options to customize your recovery process to fit your needs.

The four intelligent password attacks of this ZIP password cracker include the following:

1. Combination attack

The combination attack lets the user feed the tool with a few characters that are in the password or parameters, such as the case of the letters, numbers, or symbols. ZIP Password Recovery combines these characters and tries to unlock the ZIP file using every combination.

2. Dictionary attack

ZIP Password Recovery comes with an inbuilt dictionary from which it attempts entries for unlocking the ZIP file. If the lost password is not a word in the inbuilt dictionary, the user can modify the dictionary and add or remove entries.

3. Mask attack

This attack method is relevant in cases where you remember some properties of the ZIP password. If you can recall how many characters are in the password, or maybe the numbers it contains, then the mask attack is the way to go.

4. Brute-force attack

If you are not sure of the password attack to use, then you will be better off with the brute-force attack. It utilizes all the above methods and uses their techniques to crack your ZIP file password.

Part 5. The Fastest Speed to Recover ZIP Password

ZIP Password Recovery is an incredibly fast tool. However, the speed depends on not just the program but also other factors. One such factor that determines the fastness of the ZIP password unlocker is the password complexity. Shorter passwords get recovered faster, for example. Also, the processor and general spec of your computer affect the recovery speed. Another determinant of the speed of ZIP password recovery is the attack method you select.

Compared to other tools in the market, ZIP Password Recovery is the fastest because it outperforms them on computers with identical configurations. Some ZIP password crackers can recover your password in hours, and online tools take days. However, ZIP Password Recovery gives you results in minutes or seconds. No other ZIP password cracker can beat that.

Part 6. Recover ZIP Password with the Highest Recovery Rate

The speed of ZIP password recovery discussed in the previous section is only one factor you consider before making the purchase. Another crucial factor is the recovery rate. This shows the probability that the ZIP password cracker will work for you.

ZIP Password Recovery has been tested many times with several passwords alongside other similar ZIP password removers, and from the experiments, it always comes out on top. This tool gave an almost perfect recovery success rate of 98%, meaning that only two out of a hundred ZIP files may not be recovered successfully.

Part 7. Simple 3 Steps to Recover ZIP Password

The beauty of ZIP Password Recovery is that it makes the recovery operation really simple. To recover a lost ZIP file password, you only follow through with three simple steps, which are:

  1. Import the locked ZIP archive into the program.
  2. Choose the ideal password attack mode for your file. Remember that you have the mask, combination, dictionary, and brute-force attacks.
  3. Recover your lost password.

We will break down the above steps in the final part of this review and go into the more detailed guide for recovering ZIP passwords.

Part 8. 5 User Reviews

"I use a shared computer, so we all need to lock our files, especially ZIPs. Usually, colleagues can discover your password, and so we are advised to change it up from time to time. With that many passwords, I soon started to mix them up (hey, I’m not Einstein). Before now, I had tons of ZIPs for which I could no longer use because I simply did not know their passwords. I needed a particular file and had to unlock it. I browsed and found this ZIP password cracker recommended by every site. The rest, they say, is history. I highly recommend this software." – Gabriel Lee

"Thank you, team, for this tool. I am a regular user of the ZIP cracker, but I’m not leaving this review only for the software. The software is marvelous, by the way. I’m impressed with their customer support. I really did not have high hopes, but they were helpful and ensured that my case was solved before moving on to others – something you rarely get from similar software." – Cynthia Rose

"When it comes to these kinda tools, I have always been a fan of PassRescue. So, getting the ZIP password recovery tool was an easy decision, one that I would make over and over." – Wayne Toni

"The user guide was not really necessary because the application is very straightforward. My only issue is that the trial version is not practical. Not many ZIP archive password is three characters long. This was my only frustration.
