Winzip and Due Diligence

From: Matthew Webster (awakeningsmindspring.com)

Folks,

   I was poking around on Google and noticed there are some tools for cracking WinZip passwords. Does anyone know whether or not these tools also work on AES-256 encryption. My question is academic from a due diligence standpoint. Technically WinZip is FIPS compliant, but if it can be cracked easily, is this something we should really be recommending?

Thanks,

Matt
