Vindows Ransomware Decryption Tools

If you own a computer that is connected to the Internet, you have probably heard about the dangers that lurk around every corner. One of the most pesky attempts to jeopardize your computer's security is ransomware attacks.
Fortunately, since security software solutions are always under development, you can counter some of the attempts by using certain applications. In this case, if you have been infected by the infamous Vindows ransomware, Vindows Decryption Tools might just come in handy.

Understanding the mechanism of Vindows ransomware

Vindows ransomware locks your files by using a simple encryption key that is not encrypted after use and also not stored on the infected machine. However, all files are locked with the same key, making them easier to decrypt.
It is worth mentioning that, for this toolkit to run as intended, it needs to be launched on the infected computer. Vindows ransomware targets extensions such as TXT, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, ODT, JPG, PNG, CSV, SQL, MDB, PHP, ASP, HTML and PSD. Most of them are commonly used with projects or work-related documents.

Recovers encrypted key

Vindows Decryption Tools contains a couple of utilities that let you retrieve the encryption key used to lock your documents and unlock them in a few steps. The first thing you need to do is launch the "VindowsKeygen.exe" component in a command line, along with its required arguments, which are an encrypted file and an unencrypted one.
If you don't have any clean copies of your documents, this toolkit can cover for you: the "Headers" folder contains a bunch of sample files that you can use instead. You should be careful to use the same extension for the locked document and the clean one. After you successfully run it, the utility should generate a key that will be dumped in a new "vindows_key.txt" document.

Unlocks your documents

After you recover the key from the newly created document, you can use it to unlock your encrypted documents by running it through the second component, "VindowsDecryptor.exe." Your files should be decrypted in no time.
Unlike the previous tool, this one only requires the encryption key as an argument in order to function properly. Both utilities come with BAT files that can be edited, so you don't have to open a command line window, browse to their location and manually input the required data.

Helps you recover your files after being encrypted by Vindows ransomware

As a conclusion, Vindows Decryption Tools is a highly efficient toolkit that can help you recover your documents after being locked by Vindows ransomware. Unlike other similar tools, this one requires you to do a bit of "field work," but the process is quite simple and can recover your documents quickly and with minimum efforts.
