Command line

Previous  Top  Next

You can run AZPR with command-line parameters. The syntax is:

AZPR [switches] [zip-filename]

or

AZPR [switches] [azr-filename]

The switches are separated with / or - characters. If the switch is followed by some data (e.g., filename, starting password, etc.) which contains these characters: space, semicolon, slash or dash, it must be enclosed in (single or double) quotes.

Examples:

(brute-force attack; small and capital letters; length from 3 to 7; save and exit when done)

azpr.exe /a:b /u:12345abcde test.zip
(brute-force attack with "12345abcde" character set; length: from 1 to 5)

azpr.exe /a:m /c:d /m:june???? /sf:june1000 /high test.zip

azpr.exe /d:english.dic /sm /oem /dontstart test.zip
(dictionary attack; dictionary: "english.dic"; smart mutations; convert words from ANSI to OEM; don't start)

If the parameter is the azr-file, the program will immediately load all the settings from it (ignoring the other settings supplied in the command line, except /dontstart, /minimize and /smartexit), and run the attack.
