So basically my brother go infected by cryptolocker and he got infected, so his files are encypted. Ransom won't work, decrypt server is toast, this is a virus out of control.
Seems like it's also impossible to decrypt once you're infected. But I was thinking, I'll take that challenge. I have a super fast computer: 32 thread, 64gb machine w/ GTX 660 Ti w/ 1344 cuda cores.
If I gotta be the first person to decrypt, fine, i'll be the first.
I'm going to get the public key from the Windows registry, if it's still there, here, I think:
HKCU\Software\CryptoLocker, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Cryptolocker, others?
If I have no public key to crack......... can I generate enough public and private keys to crack a file at random? I was reading this is encypted using RSA...... again, think of the power of my computer! =) If i gotta rent space on AWS, FINE I will.
I'm gonna use an ubuntu CD to copy his personal files, including the encrypted files; hopefully not all his files are encrypted...
