How can i recover a zip password using CUDA (GPU)?
How can i recover a zip password on linux using CUDA (GPU). For the past two days i tried using "fcrackzip" but it's too slow
Few months back i saw some application that can use GPU / CUDA and get large performance boost in comparison to CPU.
If brute-force using cuda is not possible, please tell me what's the best application for performing a dictionary attack, and where can i find best (largest) dictionary.
Regards
Solution 1:
According to this article using CUDA for brute-force against ZIP is possible, but I haven't found free app so far. The difficulty of using CUDA for ZIP is that the "forced" attempt is not consisting of a single calculation like in brute-forcing hash, but requires reading the zip file and attempting to decrypt it. To utilize CUDA, you will need to virtualize that process - load the zip in the GPU memory, rewrite the decryption method in code executable by the GPU, evaluate the result dynamically.
Please share if you have found any solution yourself.
