# zipC

<https://github.com/kavin-jindal/zipC>

This is a simple tool that I wrote in Python 3 to brute-force ZIP file passwords. I built this project a while ago to get some scripting experience in the language.

You can brute-force passwords of locked ZIP archives by providing a wordlist. The program will crack the password and extract the contents of the given file in the directory specified.
