    There's a program called bkcrack (<https://github.com/kimci86/bkcrack https://github.com/kimci86/bkcrack>) that can crack password-protected ZIPs. An interesting use case is documented in a blog post where someone (the Cloudflare CTO) uses it to recover some otherwise lost source code for a DOS-era program used in South Africa to record encrypted messages to (audio) tape and play them over payphones. <https://blog.jgc.org/2024/09/cracking-old-zip-file-to-help-open.html https://blog.jgc.org/2024/09/cracking-old-zip-file-to-help-o...>
