"Released: Decryptor for Cl0p Ransomware’s Linux Variant"

The Linux variant of the Cl0p ransomware contains flawed encryption logic, which allowed researchers from SentinelOne to develop and release a free decryptor. Using the asymmetric algorithm RSA and a public key, the Windows variant of Cl0p encrypts the generated RC4 key responsible for file encryption. Researchers explained that in the Linux variant, the generated RC4 key is encrypted using an RC4 master key. This article discusses the differences between the Windows and Linux variants of the Cl0p ransomware and the release of a free decryptor for the Linux variant.
