Hello guys. I am a researcher related to cybersecurity. Many people realize the weight of the word ransomware. 

 

I will explain how people recover a file if they are infected by ransomware. No worries. This posting concept no has any source code behavior. I will describe it as if it were a real-time recovery. 

 

The purpose of this article is to let you know that even people who are not used to computers have a way to confront ransomware.

 

As you know ransomware is a hot issue in the wild. Since covid 19 issue, the cyber world has been important to handle your life. Because of covid-19, the enterprise is turned its working style from the office to WFH(Work From Home). Sadly, they never experienced remote work management. 

 

The hacker wants to get a piece of information on the victim's computer. Ridiculously, the ransomware world also trends inside the black hacker group. 

 

It means they just consider the attack unless it the delicate. In other words, they have a similar signature and methodology when they create a code. In this case, the regal researcher can catch a chance. 

 

If the researcher finds a vulnerability or paradox in the source code, we can make a decryption tool. Thankfully, some researchers did volunteer related to their positive mindset on the website. It is already promoted on the regal hacker group, however, ordinal people are still not recognized yet. That's why I want to appeal this site's information. The site link is below.

People think if we will be infected by ransomware we must be paid ransom money to the attacker. Unfortunately, even if the victim paid them, the attacker does not recover files. From now on, let me tell you if you are attacked by ransomware, how you can be against hackers.

 

I am not sure my readers had an experience with the attack ransomware. What if you are attacked by ransomware, how recognize an infected situation by yourself?

 

Some people check the changed background images on Windows OS. Or, check the filename was changed.

 

Case of the first, we cannot guess which ransomware attacked us. Fortunately, the second case can identify which ransomware attacked us. Let me share you. Look at the picture below. We can see the signature 'Yatron'. 

 

The tool 'Rakhni Decryptor' was created by a Kaspersky Lab. 

However, you should remember the internet area is possible to manipulate by a hacker. If you do not trust the download file, you can use the application checker. It is called a virustotal.

After the diagnosis, we can see the green light. It meant the antivirus's AI machine decided that the application is safe.

Now we can decide a use decryptor via a nomoreransom page.

Finally, we do not afraid of the Yatron ransomware. WOW! Amazing!  

Okay. we had confidence, right? So, let us try to decrypt the 'Nano' extension. 

 

 

Oops, we don't see NANO. And then we get flustered. How do we approach this case? Don't we have another solution? We must pay hackers? Please don't give up. 

 

 

People know the googling. I have a question. In this case, what is the best keyword on google if we want to get information detail more? 

 

For me, I will be searched a data with the 'ransomware nano extension'.

When you click on the second article in the search results, you can find an application called AuroraDecrypter. Usually, the descriptor name includes the ransomware name. You can check the starts with 'Aurora' on nomoreransom.  

 

We can catch a decryption tool with a keyword of 'Aurora' ,

 

Congratulations you can use your precious file again!

 

Do not give up. Trust your GRIT spirit. 

 

An effort doesn't betray for what you did
