I never knew, breaking a password protected zip file, would be so easy. Just broke a password protected zip archive of a code base. The code uses some standard code libraries, which are publicly available. Using the known plain text and Eli Biham and Paul Kocher algorithm to get the PKZip keys, it take seconds to break into the encrypted zip archive.
This bring us, into an interesting question, why we still uses zip standard, when 7z format is there for so many years now. Also, why do we have password requirements for WiFi, etc. where password algorithms flaws have already been shown publicly. Also, what is the use of root digital certificate authority, when they can’t guarantee the authenticity of their own root certificate.
damm….your article bullshit….y dont u show us the way how to crack it, not just clam that zip file can be crack in few minutes…bullshit article.
Ha ha, what makes you think, this is the site, where you can find hacking tools or illegal stuffs. The idea of the article is to tell users to use safe standards like .7z format with AES encryption instead of zip files and not to show, how to crack other people personal files.
