Remove SATANA Ransomware

Ransomware is one of dangerous and common types of malware, which exist in the Web. SATANA Ransomware is one of the latest infections of this kind and you should remove it if it manages to break into your computer, because your goal is to encrypt your personal files with a very strong encryption algorithm and to require money for the decryption key. Nevertheless, these Ransomware has some serious obligations, which we would like to explain in this description. One is that you might not; get the decryption key for a payment so please, read on to find out more.

If these Ransomware penetrates into a computer, your dropper file, which is a portable executable file, writes a low level module at the beginning of the drive. The low level module is actually a bootloader with a tiny custom kernel. After the infection is complete, the portable execution file disappears, but before it creates a copy of itself in the % Temp %. The name of the resulting executable file is arbitrary, but he should be written in lowercase, what could help you to identify, since very few files originally writing in lowercase letters are. This Ransomware is also, in addition to the creation of a new executable file, a text file called! SATANA!. create txt. This text file is in fact a ransom demand, which includes instructions for payment.

The newly created executable is set to start automatically, but if you have the user account control enabled, a notification is raised, indicating that a program of unknown Publisher is attempting to be opened. You can click Yes and no, but when you click Yes, you will give this Ransomware the right to encrypt your personal files. Our research has shown that is SATANA able to encrypt all file types, the. bak.doc,. jpg, .jpe, .txt,. tex and .xls, .dbf, .db include, but are not limited. Basically this Ransomware aims to files, which includes likely valuable information, for which you are willing to pay the ransom. In accordance with the ransom demand, the developers of malware would you pay 0.5 BTC, which is about EUR 306. This is a lot of money for most people, and the question is: the files are worth so much money? Anyone who thinks about the payment of the ransom, should answer this question.

We would stress, however, that this Ransomware is still in development and their editors have published them for testing purposes, i.e. not all functions will work. As a result the Ransomware may unable to connect to the command – and -control server, to send the generated and encrypted decryption key, you should pay for the developers. There is no way to decrypt the files by using a third-party decryption tool and SATANA Ransomware is set to delete shadow copies by vssadmin.exe commands “delete shadows/all/quiet” is running.

Let’s look at the decryption operation now somewhat closer to. SATANA Ransomware divides the contents of files into chunks of 32 bytes and each chunk is encrypted separately. Before the encryption is performed, however these Ransomware prepared a random buffer. The generator of the ransom sum uses RTDSC (read time stamp counter). Its output function consists of the complete key and then to convert the contents of this buffer to ASCII. The generated key occurs only once, and the contents of this buffer is used during the file encryption. The file chunks XOR are then relayed the first 4 DWORDs of the random buffer and any other digit. This number is an AES-256-bit number in ECB mode. The number processed the same 4 WORDs that were created using the random key which is generated at the beginning. Once all of these operations are completed, the SATANA of Ransomware active and encrypted the files.

So now you know the inner processes of this particular Ransowmware. Of course, we could expand the encryption process, but now know how and why these Ransomware has been set up to infect your computer.
