Im gonna share to you some cool and easy way to break your Winrar Password
Package in Ubuntu. You can use this method in case you forget your Winrar Password or kind like that.
Ok, lets get started.
First, you must know that software that will perform the RAR Package Crack, the software name is
RarCrack. And this is the method to download and install RARCRACK. You can download the latest
version (0.2) from this website .
Or simply follow this simple tutorial to perform the installation.
First, download the rarcrack 0.2 by pasting this following code:
wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/rarcrack/rarcrack0.2/%5BUnnamed%20release%5D/rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2

Extract the RarCrack

tar xvjf rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2

Get into the RarCrack Folder

cd rarcrack-0.2

install some needed dependencies by typing this following code:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

Install the RarCrack

Alright! Thats the end of RarCrack Installation. Ok, thats not entirely true, theres one of the most
important part that you forget, the cracking part . To crack or break the RAR Package Password,
type in terminal:
rarcrack /home/UserName/example.rar

Just simply put your .rar directory and perhaps if its not working try to rename your rar file, it
probably will help.
This software is also works for other Package (zip and 7z), just simply replace .rar into .zip or .7z in
case you must break zip or 7z passwd.
