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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.
