Forgot the password on an encrypted ZIP or PDF? Recover it with GPU-accelerated wordlist attacks, a custom keyword builder, and multi-tier preset wordlists. You only pay when the password is actually found.
There is no setup and nothing to install. Recovering a forgotten password takes three steps, and the charge only lands on the last one.
Drop in a password-protected ZIP or PDF up to 20 MB. The format is identified on upload and the file is checked to confirm it is really encrypted before anything else happens.
Choose Small (1K), Medium (100K) or Large (14M) candidate words, or build a custom one from details you remember about the password, such as a name, birth year or phone number.
Watch the run in real time. If the password is found you get a masked preview, and you pay $1.99 to reveal it and download the file. If it is not found, you pay nothing.
GPU-accelerated engine delivers the fastest password recovery on the market. Most cracks complete within seconds, not hours.
OpenCL-accelerated candidate generation. Processes 50M+ hashes per second on commodity hardware. Multi-threaded by default.
Upload any ZIP or PDF and the service works out which encryption scheme was used, ZipCrypto or AES-256, so the correct attack is applied automatically.
Small (1K), Medium (100K), and Large (14M) preset wordlists. Custom mode lets you build targeted dictionaries from input fields.
We crack your file first. See a preview of the result. Pay $1.99 only if the password is recovered. No upfront cost.
Persistent sessions with job history. Re-run previous configurations, monitor active cracks, and export results from your dashboard.
krypticon runs a wordlist attack. It can open anything whose password appears in, or can be derived from, the wordlist you give it. Encrypt a file with a long random passphrase and no wordlist will reach it, which is exactly the property that makes that passphrase worth using.
| Container | Encryption | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZIP | ZipCrypto (legacy) | Yes | The classic ZIP encryption still produced by most desktop tools and OS built-in compressors. |
| ZIP | AES-256 (WinZip) | Yes | Strong AES encrypted archives are detected separately and attacked the same way. |
| Standard password protection | Yes | Documents with a user (open) password, including RC4 and AES revisions. | |
| Certificate / public-key encryption | No | Not usable without the recipient private key, so a wordlist attack cannot reach it. | |
| other | RAR, 7z, Office documents | No | Only ZIP and PDF containers are handled today. |
No subscriptions. We crack your file first, and you only pay if the password is recovered.
Yes, as long as the password is something a wordlist attack can reach. Upload the encrypted ZIP, pick one of the three preset wordlists or build a custom one from details you remember, and the recovery engine tries each candidate until the archive opens. This works on both ZipCrypto and AES-256 encrypted archives.
Yes. PDFs protected with the standard document open password are supported. Files that use certificate or public-key encryption instead of a password cannot be opened by a wordlist attack, and neither can documents wrapped in DRM.
You are not charged. Payment only happens once a password has actually been recovered and you choose to unlock the full result. Every failed attempt tells you the reason it stopped, for example that the password was not in the wordlist or that the run hit its time limit.
A flat $1.99 per successfully recovered password. There is no subscription, no account credit, and no charge for attempts that do not find anything.
You see a masked password and a preview of the file before you pay. For a ZIP you get the first few entry names inside the archive. For a PDF you get a short extract of the first page and a watermarked image of it. The full password is only revealed after payment.
Encrypted files sit in temporary storage on the server, never in a permanent content store, and are removed according to the retention policy. You can also delete a job from your dashboard at any time, which removes the uploaded file, its preview and any generated wordlist straight away.
Encrypted files up to 20 MB. Older Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are not ZIP containers in the sense used here, so only .zip and .pdf uploads are accepted.
No. The custom wordlist builder takes fragments such as a name, a date of birth, a phone number or a pet name, and generates casing, ordering, year and number variations of them, then tries every combination. People rarely need the exact original spelling.
