I have a password-protected ZIP file that contains a single file. Also I have the same file outside the archive in a plain version. I know for sure that this is the same file. Is it possible to determine the password used for this archive?
To be clear, I want to know the actual password used for the ZIP file; I'm not trying to simply gain access to the ZIP file's content without knowing the password.
My question is not answered by this proposed duplicate question. That question deals with accessing the ZIP file without knowing the password. I am trying to compute the password leveraging the fact I have the same file inside and outside the archive.
I know for sure that this is the same file
then why do you even need to access the zip encrypted or password protected file within it?
