Version 0.2 [this is the latest version] * Added multiple cracking threads support * Added 7z, zip support * Archive file type auto-detection

Version 0.1
* Inital version (rar cracking working)

Software requirements: * > glibc 2.4 * any POSIX compatible operating system [sorry Window$ isn't] * pthreads * libxml2 * and finally: 7zip, unrar, unzip

Building and installing:

Everything is very easy:

tar -xjf rarcrack-VERSION.tar.bz2
cd rarcrack-VERSION
#you need gcc or any C compiler (edit Makefile CC=YOUR_C_COMPILER)
make
#you must be root in next step:
make install

Using RarCrack:

rarcrack your_encrypted_archive.ext [--threads thread_num] [--type rar|zip|7z]

Everything in [] are optional, rarcrack default crack two threads and autodetect the archive type. If the detection wrong you can specify the correct file type with the type parameter. RarCrack currently crack maximum in 12 threads.

After the cracking started RarCrack will print the current status of cracking and save it's to a status file. If you want more specific password character set, you need to run RarCrack to create the XML status file (3 sec).
