Here's a brief summary:

Here is the full paper:

RC7 is a block cipher designed by Rivest in 1997. It has been widely used and has been considered to be a secure encryption algorithm. However, in this paper, we present a practical cryptanalytic attack on RC7. Our attack uses a combination of techniques, including differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis. We show that RC7 is not as secure as previously thought, and that a large number of rounds can be distinguished from a random permutation. rc7 cracked

Please note that this paper is quite old, and RC7 has not been widely used or considered secure for many years. Modern cryptography has moved on to more secure and widely accepted algorithms, such as AES. Here's a brief summary: Here is the full
