Forgot the password for my old RAR files, Want to try the passwords/keywords which I frequently use. How can I try them at once rather than typing them every single time for every .rar file?

Isn’t that the tool that let’s you brute force weak encrypted containers? I remember saving my sister that got a pin secured container and the pin was coming over mail/on a different channel (she needed it as fast as possible)…

Well it was a 4 digit pin and my very old notebook took a few hours. Even less if my sister would have told me that it was a 4 digit nummeric pin and not alphanumeric.

So yea. Hashcat will be your friend. Afaik can also take guesses.
