Ransomware attacks traditionally function by infecting targets with malware that denies victims access to their files by encrypting them and then demanding a ransom to unlock or decrypt the files
If the victim refuses to pay the ransom, they will be permanently denied access to their files. As is the case with most ransomware attacks, there is no guarantee that attackers will keep to their words if you agree to pay the ransom. Over the past few years, ransomware attacks have intensified. There are now more than 50 variants of ransomware in circulation, and more are springing up and coming up with new modus operandi, new features, and better encryption. This is not something anyone should overlook. So what should you do in situations like this?
If for whatever reason, you still get infected by ransomware, there are several tools you can use to decrypt your files depending on the variant of ransomware you are dealing with. Firstly, note that no single tool out there can decrypt all types of ransomware variants. Instead, every decryption tool is designed to deal with a particular variant specifically. Therefore you need to determine what ransomware variant encrypted your files by looking at the warning message presented by the ransomware. Once identified, you can use the decryption tool specifically designed to deal with that ransomware. Secondly, before going ahead with the decryption, be sure to remove or quarantine the ransomware infection from your system. Failure to do this will result in your files being encrypted all over again.
Most decryption tools can decrypt files encrypted by popular variants of ransomware such as Wannacry, Petya, NotPetya, TeslaCrypt, DarkSide, REvil, Alcatraz Locker, Apocalypse, BadBlock, Bart, BTCWare, EncrypTile, FindZip, Globe, Jigsaw, LambdaLocker, Legion, NoobCrypt, Stampado, among others. Ransomware developers are quick to respond when a new decryptor is released. They do this by modifying their malware to make it resilient to the decryptor. In turn, the developers of ransomware decryptors also have to update and adapt their software in what seems like an arms race to ensure its effectiveness. This is why most decryptors do not come with guarantees. This article will review the best ransomware decryption tools to help you unlock encrypted files.
1. Kaspersky Anti-ransomware ToolsFigure 1.0 Screenshot showing Kaspersky descriptor home pageKaspersky provides several tools you can use to decrypt ransomware-encrypted files without paying any ransom. However, the tools are targeted at specific ransomware infections. As such, you must identify the ransomware infection you are dealing with before selecting the ideal tool to decrypt files.
These tools are ideally suited for individuals or organizations that are victims of ransomware attacks. They are particularly useful for those dealing with specific ransomware types like Shade, Rakhni, Rannoh, CoinVault, Wildfire, and Xorist, offering a specialized and effective solution for file decryption without paying a ransom.
The tools are specifically designed to deal with the following family of ransomware: Apocalypse, Bart, BadBlock, Crypt888, Legion, SZFLocker, TeslaCrypt ransomware tools. Furthermore, AVG also has a built-in ransomware protection feature in its endpoint security products, such as AVG Internet Security. This helps protect files in endpoint devices and prevent ransomware attacks by blocking file modification, deletion, and encryption.
Emsisoft is one of the top-rated ransomware decryption software that one can have on a Windows PC. In addition, Emsisoft has a long list of free specialized tools for decrypting various strains of ransomware such as PClock, CryptoDefense, CrypBoss, DMA Locker, Xorist, Apocalypse, WannaCryFake, Cyborg, and many others.
Emsisoft ransomware decryption software is among the top-rated in the industry. However, Emsisoft tools do not provide any guarantees about the integrity of the decrypted files. Therefore, the decryptor will not remove any encrypted files after they have been decrypted unless this option is specifically disabled, mainly if you have limited storage space.
Trend Micro ransomware file decryptor is designed to decrypt files that have been encrypted by 27 families of known ransomware, including popular strains such as WannaCry, Petya, TeleCrypt, Jigsaw, CryptXXX, and TeslaCrypt(Version 1, 2 3, 4). Just like others, Trend Micro ransomware file decryptor is not a universal one-size-fits-all software. Instead, it requires you to identify the ransomware family you are infected with or the ransomware file extension name before selecting the ideal tool to decrypt files.
Avast provides ransomware decryption tools for some of the most popular types of ransomware out there. Avast ransomware decryption tools are designed to decrypt files that 27 families of known ransomware have encrypted. Before using this tool, Avast recommends that you ensure all traces of the ransomware infection have been removed from your computer.
These tools are ideal for users, both individuals and businesses, who need to decrypt files affected by common ransomware families. They are especially useful for those who prefer a straightforward, no-fuss approach to ransomware decryption.
However, just like others, Avast does not guarantee that the decryption will be successful or effective. Avast recommends backing up encrypted files in case something goes wrong during the decryption process. In addition, Avast provides a free anti-ransomware tool that helps to prevent ransomware attacks and other types of threats.
Quick Heal ransomware decryption tool can decrypt files encrypted by 17 variants of ransomware. The application automatically scans your infected device for supported encrypted files and then attempts to decrypt them, replacing the encrypted files with the decrypted ones. Follow the steps below to decrypt a file using this tool:
The No More Ransom project is highly recommended for its extensive database of decryption tools and its unique ability to identify ransomware strains based on user-uploaded samples. This collaborative effort provides a valuable, free resource for victims of ransomware worldwide.
During a successful ransomware attack, cyber attackers encrypt this sensitive data, preventing organizations from accessing it. The attackers then demand a hefty cryptocurrency ransom payment in exchange for a decryption key that provides access to it again.
If your organization is infected by ransomware, time is of the essence to prevent further data breaches. Thankfully, there are now many free decryption tools available to help you defend against common variants of ransomware. Read on to learn how to decrypt ransomware and prevent future infections through defensive measures.
Ransomware spreads quickly once it has entered a target system. Many ransomware or malware types, such as cryptoworms, will actively seek multiple infection points. A fast response is crucial to preventing a costly data breach.
While many hackers will identify themselves through the filename of their ransom notes or encrypted files (.exe or .txt). Aside from relying on the file extension, there are also many identification sites now available such as: Crypto Sheriff and ID Ransomware.
Ransomware attackers will demand payment in Bitcoin (or another cryptocurrency) in exchange for a private key to unlock your encrypted files. Most law enforcement agencies urge ransomware victims not to pay the ransom. In many cases, ransom payment only encourages further financial demands and there is no guarantee you will be given access back to your data. Reporting the attack will provide authorities with relevant information to assist in identifying the perpetrators in your case and other similar ransomware attacks.
Given the rapid development of ransomware and many different types, there is no single way to remove it from your systems. If you have an external backup available, you should completely wipe your systems to restore the original files. Ensure the backup is from a date prior to the ransomware attack to prevent re-infection.
There are currently many free ransomware decryption tools available for some of the most common types of ransomware. Below are the top 10 free decryptor tools to help you recover files encrypted following a ransomware attack.
Researchers for Avast have developed a decryptor for the Akira ransomware and released it for public download. The Akira ransomware appeared in March 2023 and since then, the gang claims successful attacks on various organizations in the education, finance and real estate industries, amongst others.
Skip to how to use the Akira Ransomware Decryptor
Note that this ransomware is not related to the Akira ransomware discovered by Karsten Hahn in 2017 and our decryptor cannot be used to decrypt files from this old variant.
The Akira ransomware comes as a 64-bit Windows binary written for Windows operating system. It is written in C++ with heavy support from C++ libraries. Additionally, Boost library was used to implement the asynchronous encryption code. The binary is linked by Microsoft Linker version 14.35.
The Linux version of the Akira ransomware works identically like its Windows counterpart. Encrypted files have the same extension and the same encryption schema. Obviously, Windows CryptoAPI is not available on Linux, so the ransomware authors used Crypto++ library to cover the parts that are handled by CryptoAPI in Windows.
Our team is currently developing a Linux version of our decryptors. In the meantime, the Windows version of the decryptor can be used to decrypt files encrypted by the Linux version of the ransomware. Please use WINE layer to run the decryptor under Linux.
