The power of our computing cluster is tens of millions of WinZip passwords and billions of passwords per second in the case of the PKZIP algorithm! Depending on the encryption algorithm used, a modern powerful computer can check hundreds of thousands of passwords per second and even more. What to do if you forgot the password from your Zip archive? It is impossible to crack this file without the original password (do not believe the one who claims otherwise), but you can try to recover the lost password.įortunately, the Zip file format was designed a long time ago, and its developers did not take into account the high power of modern computers.
