Attempts to brute force the password of a zip file

Zip File Password Cracker

Nothing fancy. Attempts to brute force the password of a zip file.

Taken and adapted from the book Violent Python.

Password.txt Sources: http://contest-2010.korelogic.com/wordlists/password.dic http://downloads.skullsecurity.org/passwords/cain.txt.bz2 and the british-english dictionary file living in /usr/share/dict on an Ubuntu machine.

Usage

python cracker.py -f <zip file> -d <dictionary>

If no dictionary file is passed, it will use the passwords.txt file instead.
