Having the Bitdefender MegaCortex Decryption Tool available will help you restore your encrypted data for free.

Bitdefender created this decryption tool with experts from Europol, the NoMoreRansom Project, and the Zürich Public Prosecutor's Office and Cantonal Police. This tool is designed to be as straightforward as possible to use. It is a portable tool that automatically searches for and locates encrypted files.

To use Bitdefender MegaCortex Decryption Tool, download and run. Then you can select Scan Entire System to search for all encrypted files or add the target path to the encrypted files. You are strongly advised to maintain the Backup files option enabled by default. Then press Start now. Once completed, your files should have been decrypted. If you run into an issue, there is a user manual available.

Bitdefender MegaCortex Decryption Tool includes the possibility of running silently via the command line. A helpful option for deployment within an extensive network.

  • -help - will provide information on how to run the tool silently (this information will
    be written in the log file, not on the console)
  • start - this argument allows the tool to run silently (no GUI)
  • -scan-path - this argument specifies the path containing encrypted files
  • -full-scan - will enable the Scan entire system option (ignoring -scan-path
    argument)
  • -disable-backup - will disable the file Backup option
  • -replace-existing - will enable the Replace previously decrypted files option

    Examples:

  • BDMegaCortexDecryptTool.exe start -scan-path:C:\ -> the tool will start with no GUI and scan C:\
  • BDMegaCortexDecryptTool.exe start -full-scan -> the tool will start with no GUI and scan the entire system
  • BDMegaCortexDecryptTool.exe start -full-scan -replace-existing -> the tool will scan the entire system and overwrite present clean files

  • Editor's Note:
    In case of encryption with versions 2-4, please make sure the system contains the ransom note (i.e., !!_READ_ME_!!!.TXT, !-!_README_!-!.RTF, etc). For encryption with MegaCortex V1 (the encrypted files have the “.aes128ctr” extension appended), please ensure the ransom note and TSV log file (i.e., fracxidg.tsv) created by the ransomware are present on the system.
