Forgot the password for my old RAR files, Want to try the passwords/keywords which I frequently use. How can I try them at once rather than typing them every single time for every .rar file?
I use winrar.

This is a great time to learn about hashcat.
Isn't that the tool that let's you brute force weak encrypted containers? I remember saving my sister that got a pin secured container and the pin was coming over mail/on a different channel (she needed it as fast as possible)...
Well it was a 4 digit pin and my very old notebook took a few hours. Even less if my sister would have told me that it was a 4 digit nummeric pin and not alphanumeric.
So yea. Hashcat will be your friend. Afaik can also take guesses.
How fast it is depends entirely on the application.
But yes, it can do all sorts of fancy things like rule expansions, word combinations and custom character brute force.
