RAR Password Unlocker is a simple to use program for Windows designed specifically to recover passwords for archives with RAR extension. It comes equipped with an intuitive graphical interface with all functions neatly organized in the main window. The utility is aimed at both beginner and expert users, since it relies on a couple of steps to complete each task.
Goal and functions
The purpose of this tool is to crack passwords for RAR files that are secured with a combination of letters, numbers and special symbols. There are three different types of attack you can choose for each encrypted archive.
The base brute force option tries all possible variants, while the version with mask is for when you know at least some of the characters. There is also a dictionary attack, which utilizes a restricted subset of a keyspace to defeat a cipher.
Simple configuration
After you have chosen the method to break the password, you are able to specify password length and the character set. The latter may be either lowercase or uppercase characters, digits or symbols. There is also an option to use the built-in dictionary or a dedicated one to improve the probability of success.
The program requires a considerable number of system resources to function at full speed. Thus, having powerful CPU and RAM hardware is highly recommended. RAR Password Unlocker works on modern Windows versions starting with 7, and can be launched without administrator privileges. If you want to extract unencrypted archives, you may try another app called Par-N-Rar.
