7-Zip security overview

At least from version 3.x, 7-Zip has been using a strong AES algorithm, which doesn't allow any attacks more effective than the brute force. Besides, the key derivation function is very similar to RAR one, and uses more than 130000 SHA-256 transformations and brute force rate on modern CPU is very low, only several hundreds of passwords per second. This carries inference that 7-Zip password encryption is one of the strongest between popular encryption systems in the context of brute force rate.

Customer's FAQ

  • 0. What is the password for the achive?

    There is no password to the crark's executables and configuration files.

  • 1. How to break and then to continue the search.

    The program may be broken painlessly once the message "Testing XX-chars passwords..." is displayed, and then the search may be continued with - lXX option (both XX are equal).

  • 2. How to resume search from the password XXX?

    Sorry, no way. I's implemented in the PCL 3.0 used in Parallel Password Recovery.

  • 3. The program has been searching for 10 days, but my password is not yet at hand.

    Alas! It can't be helped. May be your password is too long, or the search set is wrong. Additional information on the password is necessary.

More questions and answers you'll find in the included documentation.
