RAR Password Cracker is a powerful Windows software solution designed to help you recover forgotten RAR passwords.
The application provides two different password recovery modes, bruteforce and dictionary, each of them taking up to several hours depending on the password complexity and size of the RAR file.
Although we've seen similar programs in the past, RAR Password Cracker adopted a different user approach, relying on a well-organized wizard to guide users throughout the whole process.
First of all, you are prompted to select the encrypted RAR archive and pick one of the two password recovery methods mentioned above. In case you go for the dictionary one, you also need to provide a dictionary file, and that may really be a problem since the application doesn't come with a built-in one.
There are multiple options in the dictionary attack mode, such as the possibility to check for all uppercase or lowercase passwords.
The bruteforce attack on the other hand needs you to define a charset, but that only takes a few seconds because the app not only includes three different pre-defined settings (digits, lowercase and uppercase latin), but it also lets you load another one from file.
Again, you should pick the minimal and the maximal length of the password and, if you remember, the first and the last characters.
Recovering a password could take up to a few hours, but RAR Password Cracker remains light on computer resources all the time, without affecting performance at all.
Plus, you should pay attention to the installation process because RAR Password Cracker also attempts to install a toolbar and tries to modify the default search engine and homepage in your browser.
Overall, RAR Password Cracker comes as a more affordable choice to the already famous solutions in this particular category. And since it does almost the same thing, it's really worth a shot.
