It is pure speculation on my part that zip files encrypted with ES File Explorer can be decrypted without a password, but it is a question worth asking. Can the encryption of this sorta sketchy consumer-tier-crap Chinese app really be trusted (assuming the encryption is protected by an actually good password)? --[[User:User123o987name|User123o987name]] ([[User talk:User123o987name|talk]]) 02:01, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
: Yes, pure, unwarranted and wrong speculation here. A ZIP file is a ZIP file, it does not matter what app/program you use to create it. Any back doors are only in your head. ;) Try better next time! :) [[User:Naki|Naki]] ([[User talk:Naki|talk]]) 17:30, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 
== comment ==
 
ES explorer does not claim to encrypt data for you, the feature is called 'Hide List', and offering password protection, but doesn't do much more than renaming. Zip passwords, see comment already given.
The program does call home though, e.g. to estrongs.com and baidu.com, and is opening listening ports without user interaction (as could be using the built in ftp server (remote manager), resulting in a legit listening port, by default on :3721) [[Special:Contributions/79.116.77.116|79.116.77.116]] ([[User talk:79.116.77.116|talk]]) 23:51, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
