ZipCracker 🔐💥

ZipCracker is a Python-based GUI tool designed to perform brute-force password recovery on ZIP and RAR archives. This tool offers configurable character sets, wordlist support, and multi-threaded cracking with an intuitive Tkinter interface. It even lets you cancel long operations on the fly! ⚡️🚀

Features ✨

• User-Friendly GUI: Enjoy a sleek, Tkinter-based interface.
• Customizable Character Sets: Choose lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and special characters when not using a wordlist.
• Wordlist Support: Use your own wordlists to attempt passwords.
• Multi-processing: Leverage multiple CPU cores to speed up brute-force attempts.
• Automatic Extraction: Upon success, the archive is extracted into a dedicated folder.
• Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux (with the appropriate Python dependencies).

Requirements 📦

• Python 3.6+
• pyzipper (for encrypted ZIP archives)
• rarfile (for RAR archives)

  Note: On some systems, rarfile may require UnRAR installed and available in your system's PATH.

Install the required packages using:

pip install pyzipper rarfile
