So for cracking zip file password we need first of all to download john the ripper :

$ sudo apt install john

or from the github : git clone https://github.com/openwall/john


To convert the hash i use zip2john utility , how to download it ?


$ snap install john-the-ripper


Then we have for example ''file.zip'' we need the hash of it :


$ john-the-ripper.zip2john (zip path) > (hash.txt)


Now we have the hash , for cracking it use :

$ john --wordlist=(wordlist path) (the hash)
