Prometheus-Decryptor is an project to decrypt files encrypted by Prometheus ransomware.

Command Arguments

Usage of ./bin/prometheus_decrypt:
  -b string
        Custom search with byte value. (i.e. \xde\xad\xbe\xef -> deadbeef)
        Please use ?? to match any byte (i.e. de??beef)
  -c    Use current tickcount. (only support in Windows)
  -e string
        Search file extension.
  -f int
        Found candidate. (default 1)
  -i string
        Input encrypted file.
  -k string
        Decrypt with this key.
  -m int
        Move backward m minutes from the current decrypted seed when guessing the next sample. (default 30)
  -o string
        Output decrypted file.
  -p int
        Use n thread. (default 1)
  -r    Reversed tickcount.
  -s string
        Custom search with regular expression.
  -t int
        Start tickcount.

Usage

Guess password

Guess the password of a png image from tickcount 0.

./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample/CyCraft.png.PROM\[[email protected]\] -o ./output/CyCraft.png -e png -p 16

In this command, there are 4 arguments:

  • i: input encrypted file
  • o: output file
  • e: search file format
  • p: thread count

Reversed Tickcount

Guess the password of a png image from tickcount 100000 in reversed order.

./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample/CyCraft.png.PROM\[[email protected]\] -o ./output/CyCraft.png -e png -p 16 -t 100000 -r

There are 2 additional arguments:

  • t: start from 100000
  • r: reversed order (100000...0)

Guess from current tickcount (only for Windows)

Guess the password of a png image from the current tickcount in reversed order. This feature is usually used with reversed order.

./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample/CyCraft.png.PROM\[[email protected]\] -o ./output/CyCraft.png -e png -p 16 -c -r

There is an additional argument:

  • c: start from the current tickcount

Decrypt (Encrypt) with a key

Decrypt (Encrypt) a file with a provided key.

./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample/CyCraft.png.PROM\[[email protected]\] -o ./output/CyCraft.png -k "+@[%T-mZSh+E[^^i{W:dpwnhdL4"

There is an additional argument:

  • k: provided key

Guess password with custom format (regular expression)

Guess the password of a text file with a known string "we had another great".

./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample/test.txt.enc -o ./output/test.txt -p 16 -s "we had another great"

There is an additional argument:

  • s: regular expression to match the decrypted file

Guess password with custom format (bytes pattern)

Guess the password of a png file with its header in hex.

./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample/test.txt.enc -o ./output/test.txt -p 16 -b '89??4e??0d??1a0a??00'

There is an additional argument:

  • b: PNG header in hex format.
    • The full bytes are "8950 4e47 0d0a 1a0a 0000".
    • We can use ?? to match any byte.

Custom search with bytes pattern is much more convenient than regular expression, since there are lots of file format that it can't be performed by visible characters.

Guess password for a directory

Guess the password of a png file with its header in hex.

./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample -o ./output -p 16 -m 1 -f 2

There are two additional arguments:

  • m: Move backward m minutes from the current decrypted seed when guessing the next sample. (default 30)
    • Use seed-m*60*1000 as the start tickcount.
  • f: Found candidate. (default 1)
    • Limit the candidates found. There may be several candidates to a file, limit its candidates can save time.

Since there are lots of files to decrypt, you can press Ctrl-c to skip the current guessing file.

Output

The output should like this. Since we match the file with magic number, it might be matched even a wrong key is provided. Therefore, we keep the decryption process continued to guess. You can terminate it anytime if you find the correct decrypted file.

 % ./prometheus_decrypt -i ./sample/test.txt.enc -o ./output/test.txt -p 16 -s "we had another great"
 Decrypt file with seed 615750, key: +@[%T-mZSh+E[^^i{W:dpwnhdL4<b8D4, path: ./output/615750_test.txt
 2795306...

GUI

We provide a GUI version for windows users. All features is supported in the GUI version. If you know nothing about programming, please follow the steps below to decrypt your files:

  1. Choose a file or folder to decrypt.
  2. Choose the output file name or output folder.
  3. Select "Use thread" and fill in 2-4 for PC. (Threads usually make the decryption routine faster, but it actually depends on amount of your cpu cores)
  4. Click decrypt.
  5. There is a counter, which shows the current guessing tickcount.
  6. The decrypting result will show in the text block below. (There may be multiple possible key, so the decryption routine will continue to decrypt even find a possible key. You can press "Next one" to skip the current file).

How it work ?

Prometheus ransomware use salsa20 with a tickcount-based random password to encrypt. The size of the random password is 32 bytes, and every character is visible character. Since the password use tickcount as the key, we can guess it brutally.

    update decRoutine() to check only bytes of file header

    It is sufficient to decrypt only the file header (max 262 bytes supported by github.com/h2non/filetype) in decRoutine() to match the file type. If it matches we decrypt the whole file. This speeds up the process.
