Ransomware

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately with an 11 digit number and 30 tries a second we are looking at 105 years!

I can not say to much on a public forum but rest assured the Police were informed on day 1. Their investigation is currently on going.

Thank you

Kind regards

Ian



 

Hey Ian,

I spent some time a while ago looking at DiskCryptor (same version that you're dealing with). It's complicated by virtue of also having the capability of using keyfiles (which I was dealing with). I'm assuming you don't have any indication these were used. I ended up moving on to something else before I could spend more time on it, but I did write up a terrible python script that will try a wordlist against an encrypted image.

It's quick and dirty, but IIRC, I think it should try about 20-30 passwords a second. It's really slow. It is not a good solution, but since you're dealing with numerical candidates (hopefully!), it might help. You can always run it on multiple computers to speed things up.

I dug it up for you. It breaks easily, and could benefit hugely from a complete rewrite. Feel free to improve it! For now, it's something to start with. If you are dealing with keyfiles and you have found one, I also have a keyfile & password version of this script. Make sure you follow the instructions closely.

Hope it helps.

Like someone else mentioned, if you haven't already done so, contact your local law enforcement and/or a digital forensics company. They may be able to offer more assistance with a proper examination of your devices.
