STOP Ransomware – Decrypter

There is a decrypter tool released for DJVU which requires .NET Framework 4.5.2 installed or a later version. The tool was initially released for the .puma, .pumax, .pumas versions of the cryptovirus. Michael Gillespie reguralrly updates it to support newly discovered verions like .format, .access, .ndarod, .bopador, .novasof, .dodoc, .todar and other. Keep in mind that the tool requires a pair of an original file and its encrypted version.

The decrypter is able to decrypt 148 variants of the ransom-demanding software out of 202+ available. The following extensions are supported by the decryption tool:

→ .gero, .hese, .seto, .peta, .moka, .meds, .kvag, .domn, .karl, .nesa, .noos, .kuub, .reco, .bora, .nols, .werd, .coot, .derp, .meka, .mosk, .peet, .mbed, .kodg, .zobm, .msop, .hets, .mkos, .nbes, .reha, .topi, .repp, .alka, .shadow, .djvu, .djvur, .djvuu, .udjvu, .uudjvu, .djvuq, .djvus, .djvur, .djvut, .pdff, .tro, .tfude, .tfudet, .tfudeq, .rumba, .adobe, .adobee, .blower, .promos, .promoz, .promorad, .promock, .promok, .promorad2, .kroput, .kroput1, .pulsar1, .kropun1, .charck, .klope, .kropun, .charcl, .doples, .luces, .luceq, .chech, .proden, .drume, .tronas, .trosak, .grovas, .grovat, .roland, .refols, .raldug, .etols, .guvara, .browec, .norvas, .moresa, .vorasto, .hrosas, .kiratos, .todarius, .hofos, .roldat, .dutan, .sarut, .fedasot, .berost, .forasom, .fordan, .codnat, .codnat1, .bufas, .dotmap, .radman, .ferosas, .rectot, .skymap, .mogera, .rezuc, .stone, .redmat, .lanset, .davda, .poret, .pidom, .pidon, .heroset, .boston, .muslat, .gerosan, .vesad, .horon, .neras, .truke, .dalle, .lotep, .nusar, .litar, .besub, .cezor, .lokas, .godes, .budak, .vusad, .herad, .berosuce, .gehad, .gusau, .madek, .darus, .tocue, .lapoi, .todar, .dodoc, .bopador, .novasof, .ntuseg, .ndarod, .access, .format, .nelasod, .mogranos, .cosakos, .nvetud, .lotej, .kovasoh, .prandel, .zatrov, .masok, .brusaf, .londec, .krusop, .mtogas, .nasoh, .nacro, .pedro, .nuksus, .vesrato, .masodas, .cetori, .stare, .carote, .gero, .hese, .seto, .peta, .moka, .kvag, .karl, .nesa, .noos, .kuub, .reco, .bora

STOP/DJVU Ransomware – Ways of Distribution

The STOP/DJVU threat might spread its infection in various ways. A payload dropper which initiates the malicious script is being spread around the World Wide Web, and researchers have gotten their hands on a malware sample. If that file lands on your computer system and you somehow execute it – your computer system will become infected. Here is a list of some malicious files known to be used for the activation of this malicious software:

dump-2228224.mem
8F14.tmp.exe
1.exe
DD98.TMP.EXE
99cb2a957f26f7a907ba93315e6fadc85880c9d597e59d4ccc977e3ab5690ecd.exe
updatewin.exe
2401_2019-01-24_12-52.exe
dump-2228224.mem
1801_2019-01-18_17-16.exe

The virus might also distribute its payload file on social media and file-sharing services. Freeware that is found on the Web can be presented as helpful also be hiding the malicious script for the cryptovirus. Refrain from opening files right after you have downloaded them. You should first scan them with a security tool, while also checking their size and signatures for anything that seems out of the ordinary. You should read the tips for preventing ransomware found in the forum section.

In-Depth Overview of the Ransomware

Your files will get encrypted and the malicious code will display a window with instructions on your computer screen. The extortionists want you to pay a ransom for the alleged restoration of your files.

The malware could make entries in the Windows Registry to achieve persistence and could launch or repress processes in a Windows environment. Such entries are typically designed in a way to launch the virus automatically with each start of the Windows operating system.

After encryption the cryptovirus will place a ransom note message inside a file called “!!!YourDataRestore!!!.txt”. You can see its contents from the following screenshot given down here:

The ransom note states the following:

All your important files were encrypted on this PC.

All files with .STOP extension are encrypted.

Encryption was produced using unique private key RSA-1024 generated for this computer.

To decrypt your files, you need to obtain private key + decrypt software.

To retrieve the private key and decrypt software, you need to contact us by email stopfilesrestore@bitmessage.ch send us an email your !!!YourDataRestore!!!.txt file and wait for further instructions.

For you to be sure, that we can decrypt your files – you can send us a 1-3 any not very big encrypted files and we will send you back it in a original form FREE.

Price for decryption $600 if you contact us first 72 hours.

Your personal id:

[Redacted]

E-mail address to contact us:

stopfilesrestore@bitmessage.ch

Reserve email address to contact us:

stopfilesrestore@india.com

The following e-mail address is used to contact the cybercriminals:

  • stopfilesrestore@india.com
  • stopfilesrestore@bitmessage.ch

The note states that your files are encrypted with further instructions. You are demanded to pay 600 US dollars in 3 days’ time, otherwise, the price will change. However, you should NOT under any circumstances pay any ransom. Your files may not get recovered, and nobody could give you a guarantee for that. Moreover, giving money to cybercriminals will most likely motivate them to create more crypto viruses or commit different criminal acts.

STOP/DJVU Ransomware – Encryption Process

What is known for the encryption process is that every file that gets encrypted will receive the .STOP extension. The encryption algorithms used to lock the files are AES and RSA 1024-bit.

The targeted extensions of files which are sought to get encrypted are currently unknown and if a list is discovered, it will be posted here as the article gets updated. The files used most by users and which are probably encrypted are from the following categories:

  • Audio files
  • Video files
  • Document files
  • Image files
  • Backup files
  • Banking credentials, etc

The cryptovirus could be set to erase all the Shadow Volume Copies from the Windows operating system with the help of the following command:

→vssadmin.exe delete shadows /all /Quiet

In case the above-stated command is executed that will make the encryption process more efficient. That is due to the fact that the command eliminates one of the prominent ways to restore your data. If your computer device was infected and your files are locked, read on through to find out how you could potentially restore your files back to normal.

    Hola Milena, fui atacado por ransomware. todos mis archivos en el disco externo fueron encriptados.
    Se les ha agregado la extensión uuio.
    A los programas en el disco “C” se se les eliminó las licencias y no abren

    Por favor, indicame si el descifrador de la variante no está disponible.

    Santa Milena.

    My PC got infected with .ygkz ransomeware virus extension in February, 2021. Tried the free tool to decrypt my files but it failed. After scanning, this tool said, my files were encrypted with online keys. Still couldn’t recover my files. Please assist me anyhow, if you can.

    Oi, estou com meu HD externo com arquivos criptografados e eu dou aulas, estou desesperada, o ransomware EWDF, nenhum decodificador server ainda. Me ajudem, por favor! Já fiz os procedimentos da remoção do vírus, isto aconteceu em 28.05.2022. E até agora estou aguardando as empresas a criarem um novo decodificador para este ransomware. Será que terei que pagar o resgate a estes hackers?? Existe punidade para eles? Meu coração está muito partido.

    Ransomeware does not infect deleted files. So after removal of the virus you can scan your conputer with recuva freeware for deleted files. It will find a lot of deleted files which hopefully are recoverable. After recovery you can open those files and see if there important for you. It is some work but in my case I found important files.
    For example if you have a file that you update every month you will save it as april.docx and delete march.docx. April.docx is infected and unreadable. But there is a good chance that you can recover march.docx. Goodluck.
