Emsisoft Decryptor for AstraLocker

Emsisoft Decryptor for AstraLocker provides a simple means of unlocking files that were previously encrypted by the AstraLocker ransomware without having to pay up the ransom. The dedicated decryption tool was released right after AstraLocker’s developer released the decryption keys to the general public.

You might wonder why use a dedicated decryption tool when the decryption keys are out there? Well, the answer is simple, and it is related to the trust one can grant a security company versus the author of the ransomware.

Going back to the application, Emsisoft Decryptor for AstraLocker is as simple as it gets. The main window is intuitive and easy to use, allowing you to select the locations to scan.

The decryptor tries to find and unlock encrypted files on its own on the selected drives and folders. The results are shown in the dedicated tab, where you can see the paths of the unlocked files. The log can be saved with the click of a button, should you need it for later reference.

While the application uses the public keys to unlock your files, there might be situations when the decrypted files are not identical to the original ones or the decryption process fails to complete. It is advisable to allow Emsisoft Decryptor for AstraLocker to keep the files that were encrypted on the local system, just to be on the safe side of things and avoid unnecessary data loss.

Like all the other decryption tools released by Emsisoft, the Decryptor for AstraLocker is easy to use and comes with a minimal set of options. With its help, you can unlock files using .Astra or .babyk extension and recover your data safely.
