Cocosenor ZIP Password Tuner

If you are trying to remember that ZIP’s password you set a long time ago but your memory does not seem to care for that, resorting to a software solution might still bring you some hope.

Cocosenor ZIP Password Tuner is a simplistic application whose purpose is to help you compensate for any lack of concentration that might lead to a situation when an archive is inaccessible since it can easily recover your password using multiple methods.

First off, you may want to know that the program sports an intuitive GUI that makes the entire user interaction hassle-free. You simply need to indicate the ZIP you want to unlock as well as select the type of attack you prefer, with the program doing the rest for you.

However, note that the application is only capable of recovering passwords for ZIP files created with ZIP, WinZip, or 7ZIP.

As for the four recovery methods it can resort to, they are, as follows: brute-force, mask, dictionary, and smart. Depending on the one you opt for, there are a series of parameters you can indicate in order to narrow down the search, but that is obviously the case only if you remember at least bits of the password.

You can thus specify whether your password is in all caps, all digits, all small, all special symbols, whether it contains spaces, etc., if you go for the brute-force attack. What’s more, indicating a minimal and maximal password length is possible.

Then, pointing to a dictionary file path can be done, with the app letting you try all possible upper- or lower-case combinations, checking for smart mutations, and more. A log file can be constantly updated with your findings, so you can rest assured that you won’t lose any of your results.

As for the program’s overall behavior, you need to know that it ran flawlessly during our tests, and the fact that it can be minimized to systray is also quite convenient since it avoids interfering with your workflow.

Cocosenor ZIP Password Tuner is a simplistic piece of software addressing users who need to unlock password-protected ZIP archives without getting involved in complicated procedures.
