Hey Guys,

That's interesting reversing work and we appreciate your comments on the same.

This tool is from one of our contributing author, Neeraj
(appnimi.com). He is new into this tool development and protocols
where we acknowledge other's contribution in our work.

I have now talked to author and he will be introducing ACK section for
the same. Soon we will update on our pages too.

Generally we give complete credit to other's work however small it may be !

Thank you !

With Regards
Nagareshwar Talekar

why do we need installer then? distribute that tool as single
executable.

Because without the installer, it can't try to "monetize" the install by installing search toolbars! (It's nice 
enough to continue the install if you reject their terms, though.)

How does it work? Bruteforce?

Yes, but... well, JAD does a better job of explaining than I possibly could:

     Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();

     String str = "7z.exe x ";
     str = str + "\"" + _filepath + "\" ";
     str = str + "-p\"" + pwd + "\" ";
     str = str + "-o\"" + _destpath + "\"";
     str = str + " -y";

     System.out.println(str);

     Process p = rt.exec(str);
     p.waitFor();

     if (p.exitValue() == 0)
     {
       ret = true;
     }


That's funny (i.e. pathetic).

A quick search of the tool's website doesn't reveal any links to the
7-zip website.  I'm not going to bother to download this tool, since a
1-line shell script would accomplish the same thing, but if 7-zip
isn't linked to in the accompanying documentation, then that would be
a violation of the LGPL.  From 7-zip's FAQ:

 Can I use the EXE or DLL files from 7-Zip in a Commercial Application?

 Yes, but you are required to specify in your documentation (1) that
 you used parts of the 7-Zip program, (2) that 7-Zip is licensed under
 the GNU LGPL license and (3) you must give a link to www.7-zip.org,
 where the source code can be found.
