WannaCry: Decrypting With WanaKiwi Also For Windows 7

Wanakiwi was quickly tested and shown to work on Windows 7 and older Windows versions XP and 2003, Suiche said, adding that he believed the hastily developed fix also works with Windows 2008 and Vista, meaning the entire universe of affected PCs.
Guinet, a security researcher at Paris-based Quarks Lab, published the theoretical technique for decrypting WannaCry files late Wednesday and Thursday, which Delpy, also in Paris, figured out how to turn into a practical tool to salvage files.
Once you download the WanaKiwi tool it starts searching for the infected files. Wanakiwi makes new .dky files apart from the ransomware. That is why it is capable of being compatible with the ransomware itself. This key not only finds out the virus but also prevents the WannaCry to encrypt further files.
DoublePulsar is a backdoor tool, also released by The Shadow Brokers on 14 April 2017. Starting from 21 April 2017, security researchers reported that there were tens of thousands of computers with the DoublePulsar backdoor installed.[10] By 25 April, reports estimated that the number of infected computers could be up to several hundred thousand, with numbers increasing every day.[11][12] The WannaCry code can take advantage of any existing DoublePulsar infection, or installs it itself.[5][13][14] On 9 May 2017, private cybersecurity company RiskSense released code on GitHub with the stated purpose of allowing legal white hat penetration testers to test the CVE-2017-0144 exploit on unpatched systems.[15]
On 18 December 2017, the United States Government formally announced that it publicly considers North Korea to be the main culprit behind the WannaCry attack.[86] Then-President Trump's Homeland Security Advisor, Tom Bossert, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal about this charge, saying "We do not make this allegation lightly. It is based on evidence."[87] In a press conference the following day, Bossert said that the evidence indicates that Kim Jong-un had given the order to launch the malware attack.[88] Bossert said that Canada, New Zealand and Japan agree with the United States' assessment of the evidence that links the attack to North Korea,[89] while the United Kingdom's Foreign and Commonwealth Office says it also stands behind the United States' assertion.[90]
Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK in Tyne and Wear, England, halted production after the ransomware infected some of their systems. Renault also stopped production at several sites in an attempt to stop the spread of the ransomware.[105][106] Spain's Telefónica, FedEx and Deutsche Bahn were hit, along with many other countries and companies worldwide.[107][108][109]
A number of experts highlighted the NSA's non-disclosure of the underlying vulnerability, and their loss of control over the EternalBlue attack tool that exploited it. Edward Snowden said that if the NSA had "privately disclosed the flaw used to attack hospitals when they found it, not when they lost it, the attack may not have happened".[115] British cybersecurity expert Graham Cluley also sees "some culpability on the part of the U.S. intelligence services". According to him and others "they could have done something ages ago to get this problem fixed, and they didn't do it". He also said that despite obvious uses for such tools to spy on people of interest, they have a duty to protect their countries' citizens.[116] Others have also commented that this attack shows that the practice of intelligence agencies to stockpile exploits for offensive purposes rather than disclosing them for defensive purposes may be problematic.[111] Microsoft president and chief legal officer Brad Smith wrote, "Repeatedly, exploits in the hands of governments have leaked into the public domain and caused widespread damage. An equivalent scenario with conventional weapons would be the U.S. military having some of its Tomahawk missiles stolen."[117][118][119] Russian President Vladimir Putin placed the responsibility of the attack on U.S. intelligence services, for having created EternalBlue.[120]
The effects of the attack also had political implications; in the United Kingdom , the impact on the National Health Service quickly became political, with claims that the effects were exacerbated by Government underfunding of the NHS; in particular, the NHS ceased its paid Custom Support arrangement to continue receiving support for unsupported Microsoft software used within the organization, including Windows XP.[132] Home Secretary Amber Rudd refused to say whether patient data had been backed up, and Shadow Health Secretary Jon Ashworth accused Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt of refusing to act on a critical note from Microsoft, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the National Crime Agency that had been received two months previously.[133]
Many computers infected with ransomware WannaCry (also called WannaCrypt, WannaDecrypt) have successfully unlocked encrypted files without paying a dime. If you have rebooted your computer since the day you got hit by the ransomware.
As you probably know, Windows applications generated keys for encrypting and decrypting files will be stored in computer memory. The keys to decrypt virus WannaCry encrypted files are also saved there. Therefore, you can decrypt virus-locked files as long as the memory location that saved the keys has not been overwritten. 2b1af7f3a8
