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’s the solution, and it’s pretty fast. I saved you having to read my pity story but here’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 “code-lol.zip”. And I’m thinking, “what the hell, why would I say ‘lol’ after code?” So I tried to open it on my computer and there’s the password box, I try every possible password I could’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 “how to crack a zip file” and got an awesome blog post explaining it perfectly. They say to use the John the Ripper community enhanced version program “zip2john” 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’ve worked. But after a <code>brew install john</code> I got “program not found.” zip2john wasn’t there.</p>
