Has anyone found a 7z cracker that actually tries alphanumeric characters?

Wonder if I should reply to an oldish thread,

If someone whould make a donation fund for a quad core dedicated server...

Only quad core? I think cloud computing is the way to go for a server.

Someone already asked Notch and he said it was just the Minecraft 1.0 files. But the .7z file is about 70mb in size while the minecraft.jar is only a few megabytes in size, so it can't just be the minecraft.jar files. If the secret file really is the minecraft code then it's most likely that Notch just included the resources folder which is about 90mb. The best way to find out would be to do a 7z of the current .minecraft and see if the size of the archive is the same.

Hallo, I asked him and got that reply


I have been trying to battle this for a while, at the moment I am going on the basis of:

The average secure password is 14 chars long.
The password is typed using chars between the ASCII Chars of 32 to 126.

Currently my computer (6 Cores) is generating 14^94 possible combinations if the script don't crash out (Virtual boxing so can pause whenever needed).

After the database is generated I plan to make it use a distributed computing method where somehow people can run a program to test it, more = quicker, plan is that it will work on Linux, Windows & (I can't test) Mac OSx to allow pretty much anyone run the program.

Or I may look at using the GPU TO process data, this is seen a lot in bitcoin mining as a GPU is LOTS Quicker compared to a CPU now.

Or, it could be just the minecraft.jars, since when an archive program compresses a file, it "deflates" the file of about 20-60% in size. If the file is 70 MB, and the minecraft code is 90 MB, then the compression took about 22% out of the file. That is a reasonable number, so it could be.

Honestly, I think the password consists of random letters and numbers.

Never mind, didn't know how old this thread was.

I know a password. "Opensesame"

Try that 67 long code that Notch replied with when Minecraft hit 8 million sales.

Look up Minecraft 8 million Notch secret Message

So, anyone been running their password crackers over these past few months?

I don't think so, the code was already solved... mostly.

I'm going to convert the .7z file to a .rar file just to see what happens.

guy could the password be cavegame or CAVEGAME or Cavegame just try cavegame in any form

I just tried all of those, It did not work.

Knowing mojang, in a few years when its finally cracked, its just gonna be a huge picture saying "Ya got trolled son" or something like that.

What if we're thinking about this all wrong? Notch IS Swedish, of course. Why would his files be protected by an English password?

Edit: One year old today, congrats!

I have been trying some Swedish passwords. I'm sure Smiba Will crack the password before I ever will.

And I had a HUGE derp moment... You can't convert a password protected file... I feel so stupid right now

I just had an Idea, If it could take 1 computer approx. 70 years to crack the password... What if we got multiple computer Working together trying to crack the password? With the combined computing power, wouldn't it be possible to crack it alot faster?

How about we employ a professional hacker to crack the code?

Okay, so a Swedish game with a Swedish gaming company is going to use ENGLISH for a password. If this password thingy was legit, it would most likely be in a language that wasn't English, most likely Swedish.

Try e10d225cd041b43221a99ebea3c764e8-2When I get home, I am DETERMINED TO CRACK THAT CODE.

So thats why i'm bruteforcing, instead of using a dictionary

What are you using to crack it? I'm using a simple Password Recovery program
