Open Source Archiving Software

Cracx allows you to crack archive passwords of any encryption using 7-zip, WinRAR or a custom command, via Brute Force or Dictionary attack. Note: You must NOT use this program with files you don't have the rights to extract/open/use them! Currently, the program requires a current version of either 7-zip or WinRAR to be installed, but you can also use it to bruteforce basically anything that is executably via command-line with custom parameters. On an i7 CPU, it runs approximately 30 combination tests per second. Feel free to make suggestions or contribute by implementing features and translating the tool into your native language!

Disk Optimizer selects files to be placed on any disk medium that will maximize the space used. It is very efficient in finding an optimum file set since it uses a Genetic Algorithm instead of brute force.

An original bruteforce-based encryption/decryption system. BBE was originally conceived to chat with encrypted text on IRC. mIRC and X-Chat support BBE via script addon. BBE can also encrypt MIME encoded files. Blowfish encryption is currently supported.

A shell script which determines by brute force the best compression format (bzip2, gzip, Z, zip, etc.) and which compression level to use in order to archive a file the smallest possible.
