Emsisoft Decrypter for Globe2 Description
Emsisoft Decrypter for Globe2 is a small utility designed to help you brute force the decryption key for applications that have been encrypted by Globe2 ransomware.
Signs you are dealing with a Globe2 ransomware infection
Similar to numerous other ransomware kits, Globe2 is commonly spread via phishing emails that feature various attachments masked as harmless Microsoft Office or PDF documents. However, once you open the file, it releases an exploit kit that spreads across your computer and encrypts numerous files via a Blowfish algorithm.
It is important to note that the ransomware does not follow a strict pattern to the file it infects and hence, you can notice various extensions, such as BLT, GLOBE, ENCRYPTED, RAID10 or [email protected]. There have been situations reported when the malicious files come with completely random names that resemble legitimate processes, such as notepad or svchost, for instance.
Nevertheless, you can tell that your computer is infected with Globe2 because it also adds a file that provides you with details about what happened and how you can recover your data.
Allows you to brute force the decryption key
Functionality-wise, the application is straightforward and entails you drop the infected file along with its clean counterpart over the decryptor. You should bear in mind that even though the files are encrypted, they do have the same size as the original ones. Consequentially, you can account for this fact when selecting the files for the decoding operation.
As it is indicated in the console that pops up during the brute force attempt, the process can be quite lengthy and hence, you should be patient for the next hours. The program provides you with the key that corresponds to your data as soon as it unlocks it.
A useful utility for decoding Globe2 infected files
Even though you might be tempted to take things into your own hands and recover sensitive data that you perhaps need to keep private from the public, you can consider using Emsisoft Decrypter for Globe2 to get the decryption key first.
