Whatever the case, there are a couple of ways to crack the password on a RAR. Just remember, cracking a RAR password is not the same as. Rarcrack - port for Mac OSX (works on Linux and Mac OSX). Type: rar INFO: cracking test.rar, status file: test.rar.xml Probing: '5h' 129 pwds/sec Probing. '0Tx' 121 pwds/sec Probing: '0Zj' 119 pwds/sec GOOD: password cracked: '100'.

You cannot 'recover' the password to an encrypted RAR file. Doing such would be tantamount to breaking the AES encryption protocol, which is currently impossible.
This is for your own safety: If it were recoverable, then what's the point of the password in the first place?The only way to get the password would be to brute force it. In essence, tell your computer to try every possible password that it could be really really fast.
There are programs that do this for you. If its an easy to guess, dictionary-based password, and you have a CUDA-capable Nvidia GPU, then a brute force could take a matter of hours.
If you don't have a CUDA GPU, then up that estimate to a matter of days. If the password is random and/or long. Your computer could literally be sitting there until the heat death of the universe.If this were really important to you, you can create an EC2 spot instance running a Tesla CUDA card, then execute a CUDA-based brute force program on the server. It'd literally run orders of magnitude faster than the pitiful little thing that comes with Macbook Pros these days, but depending on how long the crack takes it might cost you $10-$100. The default encryption scheme on a RAR file is AES with 128-bit key length.
That's where the encryption features end with RAR.Truecrypt offers AES, Serpent, and TwoFish encryption schemes. It supports double/triple-encryption across multiple schemes (AES/Serpent, AES/TwoFish, AES/Serpent/TwoFish, etc) so that if one is discovered vulnerable your data is still safe.This point is pretty important, because there are some pretty crackpot rumors that the NSA has figured out how to crack AES, and that's one of the reasons they're building that huge datacenter out in the Utah desert. Of course, the NSA approved AES and added some specifications to it, so maybe they've known all along and only recently has computing power gotten to the point where their crack is feasible.Truecrypt also offers a lot of features to hide the fact that a truecrypt file even exists. A TC file has no header or extension, so it is impossible to distinguish it from totally random data (unlike RAR which must put the fact that its a RAR file in its header). Users can create two separate encrypted containers in one file, each accessible by a different password, allowing for good plausible deniability.
Truecrypt supports pre-boot authentication for full drive encryption in Windows. AES is still nigh-unbreakable. It alone is recommended by the NSA for the storage of top secret documents, so I guess the NSA should be the only people who could compromise it. Assuming they can (which they can't).
It should be perfectly acceptable for storing porn (that's what we all use it for, right?).If you're storing ultra-top-secret data, and have a tinge of conspirorist in your blood, then you might be interested in doubling up your encryption schemes. But Truecrypt's most interesting feature is the FDE, and that's what a lot of businesses use it for.
