Getting Your ID and MAC With STOPDecrypter



You can get STOPDecrypter from this link. Once you're done downloading it, follow the instructions below. A number of the steps include pictures to make it easier to see what you're supposed to do.

The creator of STOPDecrypter has an FAQ at this link with additional information.

  1. Open the file you downloaded.

  2. When a window opens with two files in it (“README” and “STOPDecrypter”), double-click on the one named STOPDecrypter.


  3. When STOPDecrypter opens, click on the Select Directory button.


  4. In the dialog that pops up, click on your username in the list to select it, and then click the OK button (feel free to select a folder with less files in it if you want this process to go faster).


  5. Click on the Decrypt button.


  6. When it's done, STOPDecrypter will say “[!] No keys were found for the following IDs” in the log output on the left side of its window, and below that it will list some information (ID and MAC address) that may be helpful in figuring out your decryption key.


  7. Please copy this information, and paste it into a reply to the forum topic where you asked for help, or in a reply to the STOP ransomware help thread on the BleepingComputer forums at this link.

Once your ID and MAC address have been posted, it can be forwarded to the creator of STOPDecrypter, or if it was posted in the BleepingComputer STOP ransomware help thread then he should find it himself and archive it. If he is ever able to figure out your decryption key, then you should be contacted with information on how to decrypt your files.
