Try out different passwords to decrypt file?

**deepsepia** · July 20th, 2015, 07:14 AM

Wonder if anyone knows how to do this.

I usually download with JDownloader, which keeps a password library, so RARs and Zips get expanded automatically. I find that I've got a bunch of encrypted files, don't recall where I downloaded them from.

Can you think of any way to run the long list of passwords against them?

Eg, I've collected more than a hundred passwords, is there a way to do what JD does, which is just to try each of them?

If you go to add ons there is a tab where you load all of your passwords - then when the app finishes downloading and unrar it will crack from your password list - et voila!

Thanks, yes, I know how to do it in JD.

The problem is, I've acquired a bunch of encrypted files, don't know from where, which are sitting on my drive as zips and Rars. JDownloader's cracker doesn't operate on files you already have, just on stuff that it downloads.

I have my very large JD password library, and I'd like to run that against these files.

As a total kludge, I thought of using JD to "download" the files across my WiFi network, but there must be a better way

I used to select xtras? and select the RAR files which would treat them as if they were in the download list. The new JDownloader is a bit different - I will work on it

wow-- I hadn't thought of that.

There's a Tools>Extract Files command.

But when I try it, it doesn't seem to do anything.

Rarzilla lets you build a list in a txt file

Exctly the kind of thing I'm looking for, thank you . .. unfortunately, I'm a Mac user . . .might boot up a windows partition to run something like this, though I'd prefer a mac app if one exists.

Seems such a simple thing, but none of the un-rar programs do it.

Here - on a mac is the unrar file archive
