Is it easy to crack a passworded winzip file?

Or does it really take an expert?

oh. in that case it very safe. ultra safe. i wouldnt be able to crack it, even if i were lazy and it was 3am, and i wasnt trying very hard, which i wasnt

from what i hear, other encryption programs are much better

its just for the photos and vids I take of my gf that i dont need my housemates to see. within our communal house PCs are practically public.

I figure if I name the file something unsuspicious they won´t go through any effort whatsoever to open it.

your probably good to go. you think they have the motivation to crack some random winzip file?

Give yourself a 20-character gibberish password using upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. It'll be safe.
