i know that this has probably been
talked about hundreds of times but
could someone lead me to a place
where i can find out how to get
into a password protected stuffit
file.

I only thing that I know , forget about using "remove it" it does'nt

the next file removes stuffit archive passwords.
you need resedit to use it.

The easiest way I know of is to get into the achive using Resedit, then
delete the Mkey resources (I think). Then when you extract it will ask
for a PW, enter a 3-character PW, it will ask to verify, type same PW.
Then Voila!
I haven't done this in a while so sorry if I screwed up.

I tried to use remove password on an encrypted installer file and it
starts to unstuff then stops and gives me some funny error relating to
the resource fork? Any ideas, suggestions?

I don't know if that's the same program I have, but on my page there's a
program that removes the passwords for you and has worked well for me in
the past. The URL is below, look in the files area.

Hey on the matter of stuffit passwords they are not stored
in the resource fork and replacing the MKey resource does
not work unless you are using a really OLD file.

In other words there is no way to REMOVE the passwords...

There are ways to OBTAIN the password tho...

For instance if you have MacsBug installrd you can
decompile the code of the .sit file by droping to MacsBug
when the passwd dialogue comes up
then just search the code for ?"cmp.l xx, xx"? or "jmp
<adr>"

I THINK that should work

Also MacNosy should do the trick but no one will send it to
me so i can find out...<CAN WE SAY REQUEST BOYS AND GIRLS>

From this you can find the register that the password is in
when it is compared or you can find the refrence to its
location in the code.

The only problem is if the passwd is encrypted...but you
can probably figure out how that is done by hacking around
with DropStuff(tm)

If anyone wants to help me write a progie or template that
opens up the .sit file and displays the passwd e-mail me.
my adress is on here somewhere.

Sorry all none of this will work the password is
encrypted as is all the data in the archiveplus part of the
password i believe is in the Data fork
Even removeing the entire resource fork with fork off wil
not work

I am curently playing with Stuffit deluxe Stuffit
Expander and DropStuff to figure out how it puts the
encrypted password together to verify it with the one you
type in

If anyone would like to help me by working on this as well
and giveing me any feedback pleze do one person has already
done so and his offer will be greatly repaid if I can get
this to werk

PS MacNosy would help

No this does not work the MKey resource is the least of your problems when
it comes to stuffit archives the password is used in the encryption of the
archive and resides encrypted itself in bothe the Data and Resource fork
it is possible to becrypt the password and then use it to open the archive
but to impliment this I need a DisAssembler such as MacNosy and noone is
being very generous I mean what the hell $300 for a stupid DisAssembler ha
Im not gonna pay that I would rather write my own

BUT if someone does do me the favor it would be much aprecited and
everyone would hopefully benefit
