The author explicitly framed it as a portable, free, fast ZIP password cracker rather than only a speed contest. The bundled NEWS text on the official page traces the project from 0.0.1 through 1.0. Version 0.0.5 is dated August 1998, version 0.3 is dated January 2004, and version 1.0 is dated August 2008. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The official page offered source tarballs, a Windows binary built under Cygwin, and a mailing list for discussion, support, and development. The supplied package-manager metadata shows it later became a small but durable package in Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, and similar repositories. ### Wie es verwendet wird The manpage reproduced on the official site describes scanning encrypted ZIP files and trying to guess the password. Its main modes are brute force with selectable character sets and lengths, dictionary mode from a password file, optional unzip validation to reduce false positives, and benchmarking or validation modes. It is primarily a recovery and audit utility for legacy ZIP encryption, not a general archive manager. Common package-manager use is direct CLI invocation such as brute-forcing a known-length password or testing a wordlist against a ZIP archive. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren fcrackzip is package-nerd-relevant because it is one of the long-lived small security tools that persists in Unix package collections long after upstream development slows. Its official history captures the late-1990s free-software motivation: portable C source, performance close to assembler tools, and user-modifiable cracking modes. ### Zeitleiste - 1998: 0.0.5 NEWS entry dated August 12. - 2004: Version 0.3 released with compatibility fixes and build-system updates. - 2008: Version 1.0 released with crash fixes and autoconf/automake updates. ### Related projects - The official page compares fcrackzip with fzc, zipcrack, and other ZIP crackers, emphasizing source availability and portability as differentiators. - The tool also includes a cpmask method for brute-forcing CP-masked images, a feature the author described as unusual among comparable crackers. ### Quellen - - ## Sicherheitshinweise escape, surveillance, or offensive capability signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** red / mittel - escape, surveillance, or offensive capability signal ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** fcrackzip - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - fcrackzip - 1.0-12: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: fcrackzip from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | password cracker for zip archives | http://oldhome.schmorp.de/marc/fcrackzip.html - Nix - fcrackzip: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/fc/fcrackzip/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - fcrackzip - 1.0-11: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: fcrackzip from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | password cracker for zip archives | http://oldhome.schmorp.de/marc/fcrackzip.html - pacman - fcrackzip - 1.0-6: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: fcrackzip from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Zip file password cracker | http://oldhome.schmorp.de/marc/fcrackzip.html - MacPorts - fcrackzip: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: security/fcrackzip/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Archive and compression packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/archive-compression-tools/) - Matched archive or compression metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [truecrack](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/truecrack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: brute-force, cli, password-recovery, security. - [hashcat](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/hashcat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-recovery, security. - [pdfcrack](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/pdfcrack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-recovery, security. - [pdfrip](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/pdfrip/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-recovery, security. - [wirouter_keyrec](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/wirouter-keyrec/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-recovery, security. - [ophcrack](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/ophcrack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-recovery, security. - [bkcrack](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/bkcrack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, security, zip. - [pixiewps](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/pixiewps/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: brute-force, cli, security. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
