This Python script is a lightweight tool designed to help you  \ncrack password-protected ZIP files using a dictionary attack.  \nIt's easy to use, interactive, and a great demonstration of Python scripting  \nfor file manipulation and password testing.  \n\n## 🔑Features\n- Banner Display: A cool ASCII-art banner to make the script visually appealing.  \n- Interactive Prompts: Simple and intuitive prompts guide the user through the process.  \n- Progress Feedback: See which password is being tried in real-time.  \n- Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling ensures the script doesn’t crash due to missing files or invalid ZIP files.  \n- Compatibility: Works seamlessly across major platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS).  \n\n## 🚀Step-by-Step Guide in Linux Terminal !\n\nStep 1: Update \u0026 upgrade your system  \n\u003esudo apt update  \n\u003esudo apt upgrade  \n\nStep 2: Clone the repository  \n\u003egit clone https://github.com/The-Real-Virus/Zip-Password-Cracker.git  \n\nStep 3: Go to the Tool Directory where u clone it and read requirements.txt file !  \n\u003ecd Zip-Password-Cracker  \n(read requirements.txt file using cat or gedit)  \n\nStep 4: extract the rockyou file using unrar  \n\u003esudo apt install unrar (if it is not installed in ur kali linux)  \n\u003eunrar x rockyou.rar  \n\nStep 5: After Completing the process now u can run script  \n\u003epython3 Script.py  \n\n## ⚙️Troubleshooting\n\n1) `Error: File Not Found`  \n- Ensure the ZIP file and the password list are in the same directory as the script, or provide the correct file path.  \n\n2) `Error: The ZIP file is invalid or corrupted`  \n- Verify that the ZIP file is not damaged and can be opened manually.  \n\n3) `Passwords not working`  \n- Double-check the password list. The correct password may not be included.  \n\n4) `Script doesn’t display correctly`  \n- Ensure your terminal or IDE supports UTF-8 encoding for proper banner display.  \n\n## 💡How iT Works !\nThis script utilizes the zipfile module in Python to extract ZIP files with a password.  \nBy providing a ZIP file and a password list, it attempts each password from the list until the correct one is found.  \nWhether you're a cybersecurity enthusiast or just exploring file security concepts,  \nthis script is a fun way to dive into the basics of password cracking using Python!  \n\n## 🤝Follow the Prompts !\n- The script will guide you step-by-step:  \n- Enter the name of the ZIP file you want to crack.  \n- Provide the name of the password list file.  \n- Watch as the script tests each password and informs you of success or failure.  \n\n## 🛠️MODIFICATION ( use own wordlist )\n\nif u want to use ur own wordlist instead of rockyou.txt , u can modify in the script ,  \n\nStep 1: create ur own wordlist  \n\nStep 2: move it into the Zip-Password-Cracker Directory ( deleting rockyou is not necessory )  \n\nStep 3: While running the script , it ask for password file then type the name of ur own created list .  \n\n## 📂Example Usage\n\tWelcome to the ZIP Password Cracker!\n\tPress 'y' to continue or 'n' to exit: y\n\n\tEnter the name of the ZIP file (with extension): protected.zip\n\tEnter the name of the password list file (with extension): rockyou.txt\n\n\tReading password file...\n\tTrying password 1: 12345\n\tTrying password 2: password\n\tTrying password 3: letmein\n\n\tSuccess! Password found: letmein\n\n# ⚠️Disclaimer !\nThis tool is intended for ethical and educational use only.  \nDo not use it for illegal activities.
