Because of the extensive work that the CPU has to perform during the password recovery process, it is highly recommended to provide the application access to the multi-core processor and at least 1 GB of RAM. For the best password recovery times, the computer’s GPU can be used for accelerated password decryption that can be up to 40 times faster than what the only CPU can manage. Both Nvidia and AMD graphic cards are supported.

Decrypt a wide range of encryption algorithm - including the latest AES encryption.CPU - multi-core CPU supports maximizing recovery speed.Dictionary Attack: Quickly find the password from an inbuilt or customized dictionary.Brute-force with Mask Attack: Customize numbers, symbols, characters, etc.Brute-force Attack: Try all possible combinations, which takes more time.The app can successfully work with ZIP/ WinZIP/ 7ZIP/ PKZip/ PicoZIP archives, but it has to be noted that it cannot manage encrypted 7Z archives. Like all other applications produced by PassFab, this ZIP password recovery tool features an incredibly simple to use and streamlined interface that promotes instant use of all of its tools.

The main dashboard has a file picker on top and just below is the selector for three possible attack type algorithms - “ Dictionary Attack” that will stick to the most common phrases used in passwords with an option for making a customized dictionary, “ Brute Force with Mask Attack” where users can provide hints about parts of the password, and the most extensive “ Brute Force Attack” where the app will try every possible combination of characters, symbols, and numbers. All that users have to do is pick one of these three options and click on a “Start” button and wait until the password is discovered.

Pausing and Resuming is possible at any time during the process.
