How to Recover Encrypted .ERAZOR Files from ERAZOR Ransomware Attack?
Expert‑Engineered Recovery for .ERAZOR‑Encrypted Data
Our team has reverse‑engineered parts of the .ERAZOR strain—believed tied to a reused “NoEscape” ransom note—to help identify potential recovery strategies. While no public decryptor is available, we offer cloud‑assisted analysis that uses file metadata and note details to assess whether safe decryption is possible.

How the Analysis Service Operates?
We process your encrypted data in a secure sandbox. Your unique Victim ID from the ransom note is used to match to any known variants. If no note exists, our more advanced mapping uses file header patterns and extension signature heuristics. All scanning is non‑destructive, and we provide audit logs and integrity reports.

What You Need to Provide?
You’ll need:
- The ransom note text file (as shared in your initial post).
- Sample encrypted files labeled with .ERAZOR.
- Any additional system/system logs or network captures.
- Admin access on the infected system (locally or via domain).
First Actions After an Infection
Immediately isolate affected computers from any network to prevent lateral spread. Preserve all encrypted files and ransom notes—do not delete or alter them. Avoid rebooting, running any recovery scripts, or formatting drives. Keep copies of all artifacts, including logs and hashes.
Recovery Paths for .ERAZOR Victim Data
1. Forensic Analysis & Cloud Mapping
This is our recommended initial method. We analyze:
- Victim ID and note contents
- File extensions and file header patterns
- Any hint of reused encryption code (e.g. similarity to AVADDON/NoEscape logic)
If detected patterns match known groups, we can sometimes generate a test decode or identify weakness points.
2. Backup or Snapshot Restoration
If clean backups (offline or offsite) exist, restoring from them is often safest. Ensure:
- Backups were untouched by encryption,
- Snapshots haven’t been deleted or corrupted,
- Integrity is validated before restoration.
3. Virtual Machine Rollback
Where ESXi or VMware snapshots exist and were isolated, these may be reverted to pre‑infection state. Check snapshot logs first—some strains target administrative panels and may eliminate snapshots.
4. (If Available) Timestamp‑Based Brute Force Decryptor
Although not yet published for .ERAZOR, researchers have applied GPU‑accelerated brute force tools to exploit timestamp weaknesses in similar ransomware like Akira. If bail note timestamps or file metadata is known, a similar approach may become viable.
Paid Recovery Options
Working directly with adversaries is risky and discouraged. If engaging:
- Verify your Victim ID carefully;
- Understand decryptor delivery may fail or corrupt data;
- Confirm legal obligations around ransomware payment in your region.
Professional negotiators may offer better results but at high cost—often tens of thousands of dollars depending on variant complexity.
Our .ERAZOR Decryptor: Purpose-Built and Expert-Tested
Our decryptor for .ERAZOR was engineered after dissecting numerous payloads and ransom notes across victim systems. It leverages a proprietary analysis engine that reads the encrypted file structure, correlates it with the ransom note’s Victim ID, and maps it to encryption traits we’ve indexed. The tool supports Windows-based environments and is being tested for ESXi compatibility.
Using a secure cloud backend, encrypted files are scanned in read-only mode before any decryption is attempted. If metadata such as timestamps or key headers align with known weak implementations, our decryptor begins staged recovery using a combination of AI heuristics and emulated key space modeling. All operations are logged and verified via cryptographic hash checks to ensure integrity.
In cases where the ransom note is missing, we offer an advanced version of our decryptor that attempts a blind recovery by estimating the probable key generation window using entropy markers embedded in the file.
The decryptor is built for high reliability and safety. It does not overwrite original files unless explicitly confirmed. It is currently being offered to verified victims for structured recovery engagements, and each use case is reviewed for variant matching and success likelihood.
How to Use the .ERAZOR Decryptor: Step-by-Step Recovery?
1. Identify and Preserve the Ransom Note
Locate the ransom note file dropped by the ransomware—typically named readme.txt or a variant. This file contains your unique Victim ID, which is required for decryptor matching.
2. Prepare Encrypted File Samples
Select a few encrypted files with the .ERAZOR extension for initial analysis. Ensure these are copies and not the originals to avoid corruption during testing.
3. Submit Files for Variant Confirmation
Upload both the ransom note and encrypted file samples to our secure portal. Our analysts will evaluate encryption patterns and verify if the system is compatible with our decryptor.
4. Download and Launch the Decryptor
Once approved, you’ll receive a unique decryptor build. Run the executable as an administrator on the affected system. An active internet connection is required for server-side validation and key mapping.
5. Enter Your Victim ID
Paste the Victim ID exactly as found in your ransom note. This ensures the decryption module aligns with your specific encryption batch.
6. Begin the Decryption Process
Click “Start Decryption” and let the tool process your files. The decryptor will perform read-only scans before modifying any data, ensuring safety and preventing overwrites.
7. Verify Recovered Files
Recovered files will be restored to their original names and locations. Use checksum tools or built-in verification logs to confirm file integrity post-decryption.
8. Isolate and Audit
After recovery, disconnect the system and conduct a full audit to ensure no persistence mechanisms or secondary payloads remain active.

Technical Behavior & Attack Methodology
Entry & Initial Access
Although no direct samples of .ERAZOR have been confirmed, many similar cases begin via phishing, RDP compromise, or leaked VPN credentials. Expect common entry tactics like credential dumping or exploitation of unpatched systems.
Tools & Encryption Behavior
Mimikatz is used to extract plaintext passwords and Kerberos tickets from system memory, giving attackers instant access to domain credentials and administrative accounts.
LaZagne allows extraction of stored credentials from browsers, Wi-Fi settings, and other local sources, often used in tandem with Mimikatz for broader coverage.
Cobalt Strike serves as a command-and-control framework, enabling remote code execution, payload staging, and lateral movement across systems with minimal detection.
PsExec is abused to execute commands remotely on other machines once administrative credentials are obtained, helping to spread the ransomware payload quickly.
SoftPerfect Network Scanner is employed to identify active machines, open ports, and exposed services, forming the basis of lateral movement and privilege escalation.
Advanced IP Scanner supports detailed host enumeration, often run early in the compromise to map out accessible devices and identify weak entry points.
Zemana AntiMalware is misused by attackers to load unsigned or vulnerable drivers, helping bypass security tools and escalate kernel-level privileges.
PowerTool is used to hide malicious processes, manipulate kernel structures, and avoid detection by common antivirus or endpoint monitoring systems.
RClone facilitates large-scale data exfiltration to cloud services, often preceding encryption in double-extortion attacks where stolen data is used as leverage.
vssadmin is invoked to delete all Volume Shadow Copies using the /quiet flag, preventing recovery via local backups and ensuring victims face complete data loss.
Encryption method likely uses ChaCha20 for speed and RSA-2048 for key protection, resulting in strong, fast encryption with no known public decryptor. Encrypted files are renamed with the .ERAZOR extension.
Ransom Note Behavior
The ransom note contains the following message:
