Does this program work on "zip files or only "rar" files?

Ass suspected this is a single threaded CPU core bruteforce password hacker. I was hoping it used some discovered weakness in RAR encryption like the old winzip cipher had and that was how it could claim to recover "Any RAR Password"

I'm used to Elcomsoft ArchPR winzip doing over 30 Million attempts per second on winzip non vulnerable cipher... on this old downclocked vista machine running at 2.0GHz instead of 2.4GHz it is averaging 23 tries per second on a known RAR archive. It will take days to even have a chance at approaching the passphrase! Part of the problem is there is no fine tuning for the character set used to brute force the passphrase and no min length start point and by the look of it no pause and resume on the brute forcing so no stopping for any reason and resuming where you left off when convenient.

It uses upper and lower case alpha, numeric and special characters no international characters. and starts at single character length I think as by the time I looked it was on 2 characters long.

As a comparison I am going to test it against elcomsoft ARCHPR using similar character sets on same machine on same RAR archive it is averaging 63 tries per second, so around 2 and a half times faster than todays giveaway, still way slower than I would be inclined to use in earnest. And this test is fair as ARCHPR I am using is also single core CPU only no GPU acceleration. No doubt If I tried both on Intel i7 it would be a bit better but not by enough to make RAR password brute force recovery a viable task. Smart dictionary attacks are the only viable methods but none are assured of guessing the correct passphrase and RAR and for example ARJ are renowned for their ciphers being painfully slow to try to brute force, probably by design!

Password "hh" Brute-Force or BF with mask all lowercase a-z ends psw not found. File.rar create switch -hp.
Only -p program crash in setbox.

I have yet to see one of these that works, and I have tried several over the years.

I have a specific question. How much time approximately does the application need to recover a password that has 8 characters, one number, one capital letter and one special character? This is most often standard of today's passwords.

This is nothing more than an automated brute forcer, nothing fancy at all like partially calculating keys, using known shortcuts for decrypting, using known clear text files, etc.

All it is does is brute forcing using 3 methods: normal brute force, brute force with mask and dictionary attack.

" It can unlock, crack and recover any lost or forgotten passwords"
It sounds better and more advanced than it actually is, what this product actually does is.. guess. It can guess the password.

The length of time will depend on the password used, something like a lowercase word "banana" wouldn't take long and is realistically possible.

A custom password that is not the in the dictionary, or includes letters or special characters will take significantly longer, maybe even years to guess.

I tried one of these years ago, did not have the patience, the amount of time was not worth it. That being said, if you have a RaR archive you forgot the password to, instead of trying all every password you can think of manually, maybe you could make a list, and have this program try every combination for you.

"Any RAR Password Recovery provides 3 RAR password attacking modes: Brute-Force attack (Try all possible password combinations. It takes more time); Brute-Force with Mask Attack (Customize numbers, symbols, characters, etc.); Dictionary Attack (Tries the passwords from inbuilt or customized dictionary). When you terminate the RAR password recovery process, you can choose whether to keep the project so that the software can continue to attack the RAR password next time which saves you lots of time."

Is it possible to infer by accelerating GPGPU like other companies' paid programs? Or is it a simple CPU operation?

Does this do other files, like zip files?
