7z2hashcat
Extracts password-protected 7-Zip archive data into hashcat-compatible hashes for password cracking.
What is 7z2hashcat?
7z2hashcat is a utility that extracts cryptographic data from password-protected 7-Zip archives and converts it into hashes that can be cracked with hashcat. It solves the problem of recovering lost passwords for encrypted .7z files by enabling efficient brute-force or dictionary attacks using GPU acceleration.
Security researchers, penetration testers, and digital forensics professionals who need to recover passwords from encrypted 7-Zip archives during security assessments or data recovery operations.
It provides a specialized, reliable method to bridge 7-Zip encryption with hashcat's cracking capabilities, offering precise hash extraction that directly integrates with the popular password recovery toolchain without requiring custom scripting.
