articles or tuttorials on compressed file with password

is there a way to break/hack (sorry i don't know if it is the right term) a compressed file that is passworded without bruteforcing it? is there an article written similar to my question? is there a particular software for decrypting a compressed file that is protected with password? can i use ollydbg or hex editor? if yes, how? sorry i got too many questions (a noob question perhaps :().

(i don't know if this topic shoud be under on general hacking category) sorry if it is a wrong post

to the admin: you have the right to delete my post and i'm willing to faced the consequences if i did make any violations about this topic.:|

Yes there are many applications that do this for you.

Examples: KRyLack AAPR

There are many more on this page

those programs take forever to crack the password…

i hate it,when people lock their .rar cabinets… you should just try to find another download,if you ask me.:ninja:

good luck with it.
