Decryptor STOP (Djvu), Ransomware decryptor

The Emsisoft security team has just developed a ransomware decryptor capable of breaking STOP encryption.

Breaking STOP's encryption is done via a large-scale side-channel attack on the ransomware's keystream. The distribution of STOP occurs almost exclusively through key generators (KeyGen) and cracks. Tools that allow users to activate paid software for free.

STOP's target is often poor children and students who use this type of tool. The decryption tool allows victims to unlock their files without having to pay ransom.

According to the publisher: Unfortunately, this tool will not work for all victims because it will only be able to recover files encrypted by 148 of 160 variants. We estimate that this will allow around 70% of victims to recover their data. For those affected by the remaining 12 variants, no solutions currently exist and we are unable to offer further support at this time. We recommend that those in this position archive the encrypted data in case a solution would become available in the future.

Un ransomware, or ransomware, is malware that takes personal data hostage. To do this, ransomware encrypts personal data and then asks its owner to send money in exchange for the key that will allow it to be decrypted. Ransomware can also block any user's access to a machine until a key or unblocking tool is sent to the victim in exchange for a sum of money but without any real guarantee. Many resident security solutions provide real-time protection against ransomware. But gangs regularly evolve their ransomware to counter the decryption keys offered. Some ransomware like Raas babuk are real scams and do not provide the decryption key after the ransom is paid. Generally security experts and legal authorities recommend not paying the requested ransom.
