Known-Plain Text attacks are faster than brute-force, Elcomsoft has a good zip recovery program to do both brute force or known plain-text recovery. With a known-plain-text you have to have a file or document that is identical to one in the zip file, no changes in the files data. Otherwise your stuck doing brute-force. You can &quot;speed up&quot; the brute force by specifing a range like 10-12 characters. That will take a long time... which is good for security purposes, but bad for recovery purposes.<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
