Tutorial
In this tutorial i have added a small textfile in a encrypted 7z archive named 'secret.7z' with a small 2 character password
To crack the password the following command was used :
rarcrack secret.7z --type 7z --threads 12
After executing the command the password is slowly brute forced and finally the password is found
Now we open the archive with the password we found (pw).
And we open the textfile
