AVG Decryption Tool For BadBlock

AVG Decryption Tool For BadBlock is a utility specially designed to help recovered files encrypted by BadBlock ransomware without forking over any of your hard-earned money.

Generally speaking, BadBlock behaves similarly to other ransomware, namely it encrypts the documents with a specific file format with RSA-2048 and AEC-CBC 256-bit encryption protocols. Similarly to other ransomware, the Trojan replaces your wallpaper with an image that displays the ransom message along with the details about how to make the payment.

You should know that the most common way you can get infected with BadBlock is via unsolicited email messages that contain attachments or corrupted links. At the same time, the malware deletes the Shadow Volume Copies, so users are unable to restore their files by accessing previous system restore points.

The idea behind the utility is to assist you brute-force the password out of the encrypted files and hence, unlock your documents, photos, videos and other encrypted data. It is important to note that the utility requires you provide a copy of the original file, data you can obtain by minutely searching for it in various locations where you store backups (cloud, emails or external drives.)

Once you provide a sample of the encrypted file as well as one of the original data, the application starts brute-forcing the decryption. As it is specified within the tool, the process can be lengthy and even take several days to complete. During this time, you need to make sure that you do not turn off the computer or interrupt the process.

In case you are dealing with a BadBlock ransomware infection that hijacked critical documents, then you might feel tempted to pay up and get your files as soon as possible. Since you have no guarantee that the bad guys can keep up to their promise, you can consider recovering your files using a specialized tool, such as AVG Decryption Tool For BadBlock.
