How to Crack Zip Files on macOS

<p><strong>Yep. I know, you tried installing John the Ripper but cannot, for the life of you, ever actually obtain the program zip2john.</strong></p> <p>Well there&rsquo;s the solution, and it&rsquo;s pretty fast. I saved you having to read my pity story but here&rsquo;s what lead to me finding that:</p> <h1>The Story</h1> <p>It started months ago. I found this file on my Google Drive called &ldquo;code-lol.zip&rdquo;. And I&rsquo;m thinking, &ldquo;what the hell, why would I say &lsquo;lol&rsquo; after code?&rdquo; So I tried to open it on my computer and there&rsquo;s the password box, I try every possible password I could&rsquo;ve ever used. I probably made a list of the ones I tried, attempted a dozen passwords. But to no avail.</p> <p>I looked up &ldquo;how to crack a zip file&rdquo; and got an awesome blog post explaining it perfectly. They say to use the John the Ripper community enhanced version program &ldquo;zip2john&rdquo; to obtain the hash of the zip file and then crack that hash using hashcat. Well, if I was on Linux like all these other nerds, it would&rsquo;ve worked. But after a&nbsp;<code>brew install john</code>&nbsp;I got &ldquo;program not found.&rdquo; zip2john wasn&rsquo;t there.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@thelukaswils/how-to-crack-zip-files-on-macos-4d652ec7d3de"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
