# Strong password
## Description
Zip file with a password. I wonder what the password could be?
[Don't use fcrackzip](Don't use fcrackzip)
###### Hint -> Don't use fcrackzip
## Solution
The zip file is protected with a password, let's try to crack it with john the ripper 
First thing let's extract the hash from the file
```console$ ./zip2john strong_password.zip > strong_password_john```
Now let's download the [rockyou wordlist](https://github.com/brannondorsey/naive-hashcat/releases/download/data/rockyou.txt), for more possibilities, and try to crack it
```console$ ./john strong_password_john --wordlist=rockyou.txt --format=zipUsing default input encoding: UTF-8Loaded 1 password hash (ZIP, WinZip [PBKDF2-SHA1 256/256 AVX2 8x])Will run 8 OpenMP threadsPress 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for statusBo38AkRcE600X8DbK3600 (strong_password.zip/lorem_ipsum.txt)     1g 0:00:01:40 DONE (2021-05-16 11:45) 0.009985g/s 113534p/s 113534c/s 113534C/s Bobo64..Badass650Use the "--show" option to display all of the cracked passwords reliablySession completed.```
Now that we have the password, `Bo38AkRcE600X8DbK3600`, let's extract the file and search for the flag
