7z2john.exe missing #5514

There isn't 7z2john.exe in the folder run. How can I use john to crack 7z on Windows?

solardiz commented 2 months ago

There is the Perl script 7z2john.pl, which is what you'd use, even on Windows. You need Perl installed. One way to do this would be by installing Cygwin including its Perl package, then you can simply run ./7z2john.pl (while in the run directory), just like you would on a Unix-like system. Another way is to have only Perl installed and run this script from a usual Windows command prompt, then the command may be like perl 7z2john.pl (again while you're in the run directory). The latter command should also work under Cygwin.

I'm closing this issue since it's not something we need to track, but please feel free to add comments.
