Comment on New Site Recovers Files Locked by Cryptolocker Ransomware

Comments

Has anyone here looked at the software? It requires you to manually run a command from the command prompt for every file. Decryptolocker.exe --key "<key>" <Lockedfile>

If I have thousands of files, that will take forever, anyway to batch decrypt?

The faq mentions an "-r" parameter :)

Perfect, I have the recursive part working, but I can't get the key pasted in the command prompt.

Decryptolocker.exe --key "<key>" <Lockedfile>

Everytime I paste the key in, the command prompt executes each line. Any ideas how to preserve the line breaks?

Put the command in a .bat file with notepad and run that in the cmd window?

Nevermind, I put everything on one line and it fixed it. Thanks!

i keep getting that decryptoblocker.exe is no an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What gives? What am i doing wrong?
