Avast Decryption Tool for AlcatrazLocker Ransomware
AlcatrazLocker ransomware decryptor
Description
Every document in the user folder now ends in .Alcatraz, and a ransomed.html on the desktop explains how to pay: AlcatrazLocker does not pick files by extension, it encrypts anything it can write to, though it stays inside C:\Users so the system keeps booting.
Avast built a free dedicated decryptor for it: version 1.0.840, about 2.8 MB, a single program with no installer and a wizard interface. It only works on files AlcatrazLocker encrypted, and files elsewhere on the system drive were never touched by it in the first place. The file came from Avast’s official CDN and was mirrored here, and it runs straight after download.
Dedicated decryptor: Built for AlcatrazLocker, restoring user-folder files renamed to .Alcatraz.
Wizard flow: Press start and follow the prompts, with no cryptography knowledge needed.
No installation: A single program that runs straight after download.
Free: Provided by Avast at no cost.
