carl0s Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm pretty sure rar passwords can't be decrypted and you have to use brute force (dictionary, random words) attack. Can take a long time and possibly not work at all. I'm only going from memory though. Brute force can work really well if the password is a simple word or name though.

Inferno Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 BTW its cracking, not hacking. The most popular are: http://www.rarpasswordcracker.com/ http://www.elcomsoft.com/arpr.html Both use brute force (you tell it the kind of characters you want to use, then let it try the millions of combinations until it finds it or you can't be bothered anymore...) It's usually quicker to search for the password through google if it is for something you have downloaded, otherwise unless it is a simple word, good luck! (if it's a URL, you have to included upper, lower case, numbers, special characters and set it to a long length - all of which add up to an enormous number of possibilities).

colsoop Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 If its a torrent file, the chances are the torrent site you got it from will have a comments box below the link to the torrent. If you look there you masy find others have asked the same question and got the pasword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 So what have you been downloading then? Sometimes the file creater wants you to visit a website to get the password. Was the a NFO or txt file with the download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Download the film/porno/album again from somewhere else Wez you naughty boy. I found a version that wasnt password protected, much easier than trying to crack the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
