I have got a zip file that i created to store all of my college work in. I gave it a long password and i can't remember what it was. I have tryied many password cracking programs but they are all shareware and will only revel up to 5 characters. the pasword i gave it i think was about 11 characters long and it is made up of all sorts of characters. Can anyone recommend me a freeware zip file password cracker that will find the whole password. This file contains important college work and now i regret putting it into a password protected zip file.

Passwords for zip files are different than windows, they run under the zip drivers and interface and you would need one that would bypass this, not an easy task.
Since most hackers have it in for windows they write their stuff to do in windows, never heard of one for zip files.
Is it just me that keeps finding this so funny? I mean, really...think about it...keeping "important college work" in a password protected Zip file and not remembering the password, nor the "11 characters long and it is made up of all sorts of characters" ? Lame. Good effort tho.
