Password cracker for ZIP files

Question

I have a password-protected ZIP file for which I can’t remember the password.

I know that it was an easy password (most likely a variation of an existing German/English word), and I can

• narrow down the length to a specific range (e.g., 6-10),
• specify the characters that could have been used (e.g., A-Z, a-z, ß, ö, 0-9, _),
• state the number of occurences of specific characters (e.g., _ was used exactly one time, 0 was used no more than two times), and
• exclude certain patterns (e.g., not more than two numerals in a row).

I’m looking for a FLOSS password cracker for GNU/Linux that can find the password. It should (not must):

• allow to specify limitations, ideally as described above (length, possible characters, min/max occurences, patterns) or similar
• try a dictionary attack before falling back to a brute-force attack
• log which passwords have been tried, and allow to import that log so that these passwords don’t have to be tried again when starting a new search (e.g., with adjusted limitations)

John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash types most commonly found on various Unix systems, supported out of the box are Windows LM hashes, plus lots of other hashes and ciphers in the community-enhanced version.
