CRACKING_7Z_FILE’S ENCRIPTION

The process is pretty straight forward, once you extract the 7z Cracker, grab the 7zip command line tool called
7za.exe(link given at the bottom of this post) and put it inside the same directory where 7zCracker is residing. Also
move the password protected 7zip file (that you want to crack/extract) into the same directory. Now start
7zCracker.exe and enter the archive name along with the extension as shown in the screenshot below.

Once you hit Enter, the 7zip


archive will be extracted and you will find the content inside the est folder.

Editor’s Important Note: While adding files to 7zip archive, just below the passwords field there is an option to
encrypt the file name. While testing I observed that once this option is checked, 7zCracker will not be able to extract
your files. So next time you password protect your 7zip archive, make sure that you have selected an option to
encrypted the files as well.
