fcrackzip: Brute-force a password in verbose mode with a length of 3 characters that only contains lowercase characters, `$` and `%`.
$ fcrackzip -v --brute-force --length 3 --charset a:$% ${archive}
try on your machine

This command is using the "fcrackzip" tool to attempt to crack a password-protected ZIP archive file. Let's break down the different parts of the command:

  • "fcrackzip": This is the command-line tool being used.
  • "-v": This option makes the tool display verbose output, providing more information during the cracking process.
  • "--brute-force": This option tells the tool to use a brute-force attack, which means it will try all possible combinations until it finds the correct password.
  • "--length 3": This option specifies the password length to be three characters. It limits the tool to search for passwords that are exactly three characters long.
  • "--charset a:$%": This option defines the characters that can be used in the brute-force attack. In this case, it specifies that the password can consist of lowercase letters "a", and the special characters "$" and "%".
  • "${archive}": This is a placeholder representing the filepath of the ZIP archive file that needs to be cracked. You would replace "${archive}" with the actual filepath of the file you want to crack.

So, in summary, this command is using fcrackzip to perform a brute-force attack trying passwords of length three, using lowercase letters "a" and the special characters "$" and "%" in an attempt to crack a specific ZIP archive file.
