RAR archives, especially those downloaded from the internet may come with surprises. Often times, this surprises involves a user password, which is nowhere in sight. When faced with such a situation, most users decide to discard the archive, but there are individuals who take that as a challenge and want to get in there, no matter how much time it takes. Any RAR Password Recovery might be one answer for unlocking downloaded items, but it can also help you retrieve your own passwords if you've lost or forgotten them.

In order to get to a password, one must choose one of the three available attack methods. The methods influence the way the combination will be cracked, so make sure you read their description to better understand how they work.

The first attack mechanism is Brute Force Attack. By far the simplest one to use, but the downside is significant, as it may take a lot of time to complete the recovery. This is because the Brute Force is trying all possible combinations in order to match the right one, so it may take several hours or even days, depending on the length and difficulty of the combination.

The other two methods can help you unveil a combination much faster, but you have to provide so information about first. The second mode — Brute Force with Mask Attack — can come in handy in a situation where the password was created by yourself, but you forgot parts of it. Also, if you input the right data (i.e suffixes, prefixes) you chop a lot of time from the overall process. For example, if the password is test1234, and you know the first and the last characters, the app will get your combination way faster than using the simple Brute Force attack.

The last mode is called Dictionary Attack, and similar to the second method, it can help you reduce the cracking times. However, this method requires a dictionary file, more precisely, a document with lots of combinations, and of course, the correct one. Don't forget that this method scans only the file you provide, and if the password is not there, there will be no result displayed.

In conclusion, Any RAR Password Recovery is a simple yet versatile application that can help you recover passwords from locked RAR archives. All you need to do with this app is to pay attention to the attack methods and to choose the right one for each specific situation. Besides that, the app works by itself.
