I uploaded the file here. It is an mp3.

Using a hex editor, the song name and album name can be seen without cracking the file. I know the password is something easy that is on popular password lists.

What I do not know is how to identify what type of encryption this is or how to apply a dictionary file to it to crack it. Can anyone crack this and explain that?

it's a zip file, I'm not even sure it's encrypted.

-id

How did you know it is a zip file?

If the ignorance is so bad it warrants a face palm, that's all the more reason I should know. Come on. You should at least answer if you're going poke fun.

I know I could try opening it with a zip program, but if there is some special program that can tell what type of file something is, that would be cool.

on any *NIX system you should have a command called "file", it uses something called "magic" (not joking). Basically it looks at file headers to determine the file type by querying a database.

man file
man magic

-id

Don't be so serious I was only poking fun. It was a zip file I just found it funny you called it an encrypted file that's all.

Hey, to be fair; to the uninitiated, compression IS obfuscation.
