Infected Microsoft Windows, macOS ( yes, including Apple mac ) and Linux computers will display messages which demand payment in order to have the proper key to decrypt the files. Failure to do so means you will be locked out of your own computer or files until you pay them via BitCoin. In this article, we are going to learn how to decrypt files encrypted by ransomware.

These attacks, sometimes known as “ransomware,” deploy malicious software which can disable the functionality of your computer. To avoid getting infected, ensure your computer’s software and anti-virus definitions are up-to-date, and avoid suspicious sites. If your machine is already infected, do not pay the ransom. Instead, try the following free decryption tool, there is a good chance you will be able to unlock your files, it may take some time but it will be time worth waiting. These free decrypt tool will unlock the follow ransomware – Croti, Fakebsod, Brolo, Exxroute, Cerber, Locky, Teerac, Critroni, Reveton, Krypterade and more. Prevention is better than cure, here are 2 good reasons.

  • Backup all your files, always – Even if cyber criminals do manage to infect your PC, you can just wipe the system clean and restore your latest backup. No money lost and, most importantly, no important information compromised!
  • Use genuine antivirus, keep it updated – It is always a good idea to use the original antivirus and not a pirated version downloaded from torrent. If you have a genuine antivirus installed, it is unlikely for your system to be infected with a ransomware, unless it is not up to date.

Criminals have started using new types of malware to hold your computer hostage for money. How does this work, and how can you stay safe?

Lost all your files to some nasty ransomware? We’re here to fix that. Download one of our free decrypter tools to recover your files without paying the ransom.

  • MRCR – MRCR or Merry X-Mas is a ransomware family that first appeared in December last year. It is written in Delphi and uses a custom encryption algorithm. Encrypted files will have either “.PEGS1”, “.MRCR1”, “.RARE1” or “.RMCM1” as an extension. The ransom note is named “YOUR_FILES_ARE_DEAD.HTA” and asks victims to contact either “[email protected]” or “comodosecurity” via the secure mobile messenger Telegram.
  • Marlboro – The Marlboro ransomware was first seen on January 11th, 2017. It is written in C++ and uses a simple XOR based encryption algorithm. Encrypted files are renamed to “.oops”. The ransom note is stored inside a file named “_HELP_Recover_Files_.html” and includes no further point of contact. Due to a bug in the malware’s code, the malware will truncate up to the last 7 bytes from files it encrypts. It is, unfortunately, impossible for the decrypter to reconstruct these bytes.
  • Globe3 – Globe3 is a ransomware kit that we first discovered at the beginning of 2017. Globe3 encrypts files and optionally filenames using AES-256. Since the extension of encrypted files is configurable, several different file extensions are possible. The most commonly used extensions are .decrypt2017 and .hnumkhotep. To use the decrypter, you will require a file pair containing both an encrypted file and its non-encrypted original version. Select both the encrypted and unencrypted file and drag and drop both of them onto the decrypter file in your download directory. If file names are encrypted, please use the file size to determine the correct file. The encrypted and the original file will have the same size for files greater than 64 kb.
  • OpenToYou – OpenToDecrypt is a ransomware written in the Delphi programming language that encrypts your files using the RC4 encryption algorithm. Encrypted files get renamed to *[email protected] and a ransom note named “!!!.txt” can be found on your Desktop.

Double clicking an encrypted file will also display a message box instructing you to contact “[email protected]”. To use the decrypter you will require an encrypted file of at least 510 bytes in size as well as its unencrypted version. To start the decrypter select both the encrypted and unencrypted file and drag and drop them onto the decrypter executable.
  • Globe2 – Globe2 is a ransomware kit that was first discovered at the beginning of October. Globe2 encrypts files and optionally file names using RC4. Since the extension of encrypted files is configurable, several different file extensions are possible. The most commonly used extensions are .raid10, .blt, .globe, .encrypted and .[[email protected]]. To use the decrypter you will require a file pair containing both an encrypted file and its non-encrypted original version. Select both the encrypted and unencrypted file and drag and drop both of them onto the decrypter file in your download directory. If file names are encrypted, please use the file size to determine the correct file. Encrypted and original file will have exactly the same size.
  • Globe – Globe is a ransomware kit that was first discovered at the end of August. Files are encrypted using Blowfish. Since the extension of encrypted files is configurable, several different file extensions are possible. The most commonly used extensions are .purge, .globe and [email protected].!dsvgdfvdDVGR3SsdvfEF75sddf#xbkNY45fg6}P{cg.xtbl. To use the decrypter you will require a file pair containing both an encrypted file and its non-encrypted original version. It is important to use a file pair that is as large as possible, as it determines the maximum file size up to which the decrypter will be able to decrypt your files. Select both the encrypted and unencrypted file and drag and drop both of them onto the decrypter file in your download directory.
  • Al-Namrood – The Al-Namrood ransomware is a fork of the Apocalypse ransomware. The group behind it primarily attacks servers that have remote desktop services enabled. Encrypted files are renamed to *.unavailable or *.disappeared and for each file a ransom note is created with the name *.Read_Me.Txt. The ransomware asks the victim to contact “[email protected]” or “[email protected]”. To decrypt your files the decrypter requires your ID. The ID can be set within the “Options” tab. By default the decrypter will set the ID to the ID that corresponds to the system the decrypter runs on. However, if that is not the same system the malware infection and encryption took place on, make sure to put in the ID as specified in the ransom note.
  • FenixLocker – Use this decrypter if your files have been encrypted by the FenixLocker ransomware. FenixLocker encrypts files and renames them by appending the “[email protected]!!” extension. It leaves behind a ransom note named “CryptoLocker.txt” or “Help to decrypt.txt” on your Desktop, instructing you to contact “[email protected]”. To start the decrypter simply drag and drop one of your encrypted files onto the decrypter executable.
  • Fabiansomware – Use this decrypter if your files have been encrypted and renamed to *.encrypted with ransom notes named *.How_To_Decrypt_Your_Files.txt. The ransom note asks you to contact “[email protected]”, “[email protected]” or “[email protected]”. To use the decrypter you will require a file pair containing both an encrypted file and its non-encrypted original version. It is important to use a file pair that is as large as possible, as it determines the maximum file size up to which the decrypter will be able to decrypt your files. Select both the encrypted and unencrypted file and drag and drop both of them onto the decrypter file in your download directory.
  • Philadelphia – Philadelphia is a ransomware kit offered within various hacking communities. Written in AutoIt, it encrypts files using AES-256 encryption, file names using RC4 encryption and uses the *.locked file extension. It is based on a similar ransomware kit called “Stampado” that is written by the same author. To use the decrypter you will require a file pair containing both an encrypted file and its non-encrypted original version. Due to the file name encryption this can be a bit tricky. The best way is to simply compare file sizes. Encrypted files will have the size of the original file rounded up to the next 16 byte boundary. So if a the original file was 1020 bytes large, the encrypted file will be 1024. Select both the encrypted and non-encrypted file and drag and drop both of them onto the decrypter file in your download directory.
  • Stampado – Stampado is a ransomware kit offered within various hacking communities. Written in AutoIt, it encrypts files using AES-256 encryption and renames them to *.locked. Known variants of this ransomware ask victims to contact [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] to facilitate payment. In order for the decrypter to work you will require both the email you are asked to contact as well as your ID. Please keep in mind that both are case sensitive, so proper capitalization does matter. Please put both information into the appropriate fields in the options tab. Since version 1.17.0 each Stampado infection also has a unique “salt” that is specific to the ransomware buyer. The salt can either be specified manually or detected automatically. In order to determine the salt automatically the ransomware has to be running on the system. Fill in the ID and email address and click the “Detect …” button next to the salt input field. If the malware has already been removed, please don’t attempt to reinfect yourself. Instead submit the malware file via email to [email protected] so I can extract the correct salt for you. You can also try the pre-configured salts that have been used by known Stampado campaigns in the wild so far.
