Hi. I have some issues with reovering password for ZIP file (data.pak) from game Lone Water: Prologue.
Standard methods doesn't seem to work unfortunately.

Game is available for free at itch.io
https://ragingmages.itch.io/lone-water-prologue

If you'll get the password, please share a method how you did it. 😉 Thanks.

The game was built with Leadwerks, and there is no single master password for the archive. The engine generates the password separately for each entry using its filename, uncompressed size, and a fixed mask stored in the executable.

I wrote a bit more about it on my blog if you’re interested. 👍

Put the Python script in the same folder as data.pak, then run it. The extracted files will show up in a new data_extracted folder alongside them.

Hi. Thanks. I read the blog article and it was pretty interesting. Good job with all the findings.


If you want to make your script more generic in the future, I have a long list of Leadwerks password-protected games which you can test your script on and adjust if needed :D
