google it and download the software

dont bother . get the file somewhere else . it could take you days to crack it

Yes, the new winrar password encryption algorythm is REALLY slow thus making bruteforcing nearly impossible. I and my friend had done a bruteforcing test one month ago. His hardware averaged at around 500million sha1 hashes per second, nearly a billion md5 hashes per second and only a few thousand of winrar hashes per second :/

it is possible but it would take long,still if your files are worth it,its worth waiting.free versions will usually crack about 3 characters max as far as i know.it gets it pretty fast if the password is 3 characters,but the good thing is that u can set it to work in background and do whatever else on pc for that time however i think you should stay out of resource hungry activities,games n stuff

yeah, don't waste time for something you can get from another source with probably A LOT less effort and time.

GPU brute force is the fastest but anything with more than 6 characters or randomised is pointless, even with a powerful GPU managing a few thousand a second on 6 could take half a day, on 7 it could take weeks. Every extra character adds an exponential number of possibilities

Yeah. Anything with more than 6 characters is essentially unbreakable for brute force without a supercomputer currently, which is why most security asks for at least 6 minimum. If you have 7 and there is a mix of punctuation and such it would take a decent GPU a couple weeks on a brute force at best

brute force is for dummies

At 2000 passwords/sec it'd take 43 hours to crack a 6 symbol password which consists of lowercase letters. Make it lowercase+uppercase+digits and it skyrockets to 328 days.
