How to Crack a Password-Protected ZIP File with Kali GPT

🔐 Crack ZIP Passwords Using Kali GPT: A Fast & Ethical Method.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to recover the password from a protected ZIP file using Kali GPT, a powerful AI assistant built for ethical hacking and penetration testing. The process is quick, efficient, and entirely legal when used on files you own or have permission to test.

Based on a 90-second video tutorial, this article breaks down each step from identifying the encrypted ZIP file to successfully retrieving and using the password.

🎬 Step-by-Step Breakdown (as shown in the video)

📁 1. The Challenge: ZIP File Locked (0s–15s)

We attempt to open a ZIP archive, but it prompts for a password. Unfortunately, we don’t know it.

🤖 2. Launching Kali GPT (15s–30s)

We open Kali GPT, our AI hacking assistant. We upload the ZIP file and ask it to find the password.

🧰 3. Tool Recommendation: john2zip (30s–45s)

Kali GPT quickly analyzes the scenario and suggests several tools. We choose john2zip, which is ideal for this kind of brute-force ZIP password cracking.

⚙️ 4. One-Click Execution (45s–60s)

Instead of copying and pasting commands, we just click the "Exec" button next to each suggested command. Kali GPT runs them in the terminal automatically.

🔓 5. Success: Password Found (60s–90s)

Within seconds, the password is revealed. We test it — it works! The ZIP file is now unlocked and its contents are accessible.
