How can i Brute-force attack with 32 charset
#4
so according to some news sources, this is a ransomware that encrypts the users files with 7-Zip using a 32-ASCII-character long random password:

that's of course very bad, because this is infeasible to just brute-force it within a lifetime (it's waaaaay too long and random)... unless there is some weakness in the ransomware itself (e.g. predictable / weak passwords or some leak of parts of the password.... but this is very unlikely)... my guess is that it's best to see if somebody is able to help you (some forensic or anti-virus company that has some other solution, but brute-forcing it with the above length and randomness makes it impossible to do within dozens/hundreds/thousands of years without a weakness).

update: what is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq_cIdY_ksQ&t=533s is this true or a fake report ? (it says that you must not have restarted your device, otherwise this method doesn't work. so DONT reboot)
