rar file password recovery but rar file parts (sequential) having the same extensions and winrar gets them default.

Hi there;

I have some rar files which are in sequence, winrar gets them by default and after right clicking the first file having r00, winrar starts extracting and in the end prompts for a password, I have no information of the password. Could you name a program that recovers such a  password.

I mean, as you get it, I am not trying to recover a password of a single rar file but password of a resutltant extracted folder.

Best regards.

Their are many different programs out there claiming to crack rar passwords, but from experience its a lost cause like mentioned by jakieman.
The most effective method I've found so far is google'ing  the file name, many times one of the results (given that its a common file) will be posted with the password.

Unfortunately, you are right.

>>For any kind of rar password recovery, I will suggest that you shall try Advanced RAR Password >>Recovery from www.elcomsoft.com/arpr.html , but it is not free and it takes many hours even days >>to crack a password with medium length even with a super fast computer.
I have that program and yes, it takes hours and no result with my 8 GB Quad.

I had already do that but the file is not public and I cannot reach the owner of the file.

Let's wait for other experts to join. I need a free/paid program that ease my problem.

Best regards.

>>use AES to encrypt the stream of data and put a CRC record
CRC record is also AES encrypted?
