command line rar password recovery

[RabbieBurns]

I have a rar archive I need to try to recover the password from. Currently im using a windows based program, but my fastest machines are my *nix boxes.

 

Does anyone know of a command line based recovery tool I could use to speed things up a bit?

Ive not used it so can't comment on it but i came across rarcrack

Thanks. Will give it a go, but im looking really for a dictionary one as Im sure they wont have chosen something complex.

How about John The Ripper i'm not sure if that can be run against a .rar Edited January 12, 2009 by Jenko22

Ive never got john the ripper working with anything! But thanks.

 

I tried the first one Jenko22 posted, but it would 'find' the password after only about 5 mins each time, false positives all over.
