Answer 1

pip3 install tqdm

import zipfile
from tqdm import tqdm

# the password list path you want to use, must be there in the current directory
wordlist = " wordlist .txt"

# the zip file
zip_file = "secret.zip"

# initializing the Zip File object
zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file)

# count the no of words in this wordlist
n_words = len(list(open(wordlist, "rb")))

# print the total number of passwords
print("Total passwords: ", n_words)

with open(wordlist, "rb") as wordlist:
    for word in tqdm(wordlist, total=n_words, unit="word"):
        try:
            zip_file.extractall(pwd=word.strip())
        except:
            continue
        else:
            print("[+] Password found!:", word.decode().strip())
            exit(0)
print("[!] Sorry Password not found, try other wordlist.")

root@rockikz:~# python3 zip_cracker.py secret.zip /usr/share/wordlists/ wordlist .txt
