Folks,

   I was poking around on Google and noticed there are some tools for cracking 
WinZip passwords.  Does anyone know whether or not these tools also work on 
AES-256 encryption.  My question is academic from a due diligence standpoint.  
Technically WinZip is FIPS compliant, but if it can be cracked easily, is this 
something we should really be recommending?

Thanks,

Matt
