Abstract

This article presents and explains methodologies that can be employed to recover information from encrypted files generated by ransomware based on cryptanalytic techniques. By using cryptanalysis and related knowledge as much as possible, the methodology's goal is to use static and dynamic analysis as little as possible. We present three case studies that illustrate different approaches that can be used to recover the encrypted data.
