To quick start password cracking:
1) Rename one of "english.def", "spanish.def" or "russian.def" to
the "password.def" file
2) Make sure if you run linux version of the program you convert
this file from DOS text format to UNIX one and chmod +x yaac.
3) Run the cracker on your ARJ file
yaac <your_file>
4) The program will print the most probable first three symbols
of the password. Relying on these data, you may
guess the characters that comprise your password.
The program determines the first and the third characters of
the password most exactly, so it is these characters that
allow you to determine the character set to be used.
In most cases, you should use the character set displayed
by the YAAC in the message "Rocommended set of chars ..."
5) Change the password.def file below the '##' line
according the character set you will use. To do it,
read section 4.2.1 of documentation. For example, if
you decide to use both case Latin letters and digits,
change password definition to
$s(2) $s(3) [$a $A $1] *
6) Read about password definition rules (section 4.2) until
you understand password definition examples from 4.4.
7) Test your password definition using -v option.
You also may test the cracker on this archive. Delete
all files from yaac10.arj except "try_me!" file and run
YAAC -ptry_me.def yaac10.arj
8) If you have questions, read the FAQ (section 5) first.
9) Read the full docs, finally
Please remember I almost have no time to support
this free utility.
If you will make "password.def" file for other language,
send it to me please.
Good luck!
