Free RAR Password Unlocker is an easy-to-use utility to "crack" passwords of .rar archives.

Although the compression method is not generally used anymore, plenty of downloads online use the .rar format. Most of those familiar with P2P file sharing have experienced a moment where they spend days downloading a huge archive just to find out that it's password-protected.

Though this was intended to be a security feature, it ended up becoming a feature to restrict access to users who completed a "pay to click" action for many uploaders. Unfortunately, the only way to crack these passwords is through brute force, the mechanism that Free RAR Password Unlocker uses.

This means that the application continually guesses passwords until it finds the right one. The process can take a long time, especially for longer passwords, but it ends up cracking passwords successfully the vast majority of the time.
