Was ist das GDCB-Dateiformat?
Eine .gdcb-Datei ist ein Dokument, ein Foto oder eine andere Datei, die von Version 1 der GandCrab-Ransomware verschlüsselt wurde. Wenn die Malware ausgeführt wird, verschlüsselt sie den Inhalt der Datei und fügt .GDCB am Ende des Namens hinzu, sodass aus budget.xlsx die Datei budget.xlsx.GDCB wird. Zudem hinterlässt sie in jedem betroffenen Ordner eine Lösegeldforderung namens GDCB-DECRYPT.txt.
GandCrab tauchte Ende Januar 2018 auf und verbreitete sich über das RIG-Exploit-Kit. Version 1 verschlüsselte Dateien mit AES-256 und schützte den Schlüssel mit einem öffentlichen RSA-2048-Schlüssel, wobei die Zahlung in der Kryptowährung Dash über eine Tor-Seite gefordert wurde. Nur Version 1 verwendete .GDCB; spätere Versionen wechselten zu den Dateiendungen .CRAB und .KRAB.
Sicherheit
RISIKO: HIGHA .gdcb file itself is inert encrypted data, but its presence means a machine was compromised by GandCrab ransomware. The malware executable that created it is dangerous and may still be active, so disconnect the device, remove the infection with an anti-malware tool, and only then decrypt. Never pay the Dash ransom; a free decryptor exists for GandCrab v1.
Formatdetails
kurz gefasstProgramme zum Öffnen von GDCB-Dateien
Windows4 apps
Bitdefender GandCrab Decryption Tool
Kostenlos Run the free decryptor to reverse GandCrab v1 encryption and restore the original file from a .gdcb copy; it removes the .GDCB extension once decryption succeeds.
No More Ransom Crypto Sheriff
Kostenlos Upload a sample .gdcb file and the GDCB-DECRYPT.txt note to confirm the GandCrab variant and get pointed to the correct free decryptor.
Malwarebytes
Freemium Scan and remove the active GandCrab infection first so files are not re-encrypted before you attempt to decrypt any .gdcb files.
Windows File History / System Restore
Integriert Recover clean copies of affected files from a backup or restore point created before the infection instead of decrypting the .gdcb files. Technische Details
technische Spezifikation| Encoding | Original file contents encrypted with AES-256 (Cipher Block Chaining) in GandCrab v1; the per-file/per-machine AES key is wrapped with an embedded RSA-2048 public key held by the attackers. |
| Byte order | Not applicable (encrypted ciphertext) |
| Container | The original file is overwritten/replaced with ciphertext and renamed with a trailing .GDCB extension (e.g. photo.jpg becomes photo.jpg.GDCB). |
| Encryption | AES-256 (CBC) for file data plus RSA-2048 to protect the AES key; later GandCrab versions (v4, v5) switched file encryption to Salsa20. |
| Typical size | Roughly the same as the original file plus a small amount of padding/metadata. |
| Structure | Renamed copy of the victim's file containing encrypted bytes; a plain-text ransom note named GDCB-DECRYPT.txt is dropped into every folder that has encrypted files. |
| Integrity | None exposed publicly |
| Platforms | Windows |
| Notes | GandCrab v1 was the first GandCrab release and the only one that used the .GDCB extension. It spread from late January 2018 through the RIG exploit kit via the Seamless malvertising campaign, and demanded payment in Dash cryptocurrency through a Tor payment site. Bitdefender, working with Europol and Romanian police, released a free decryptor for v1 in February 2018. |
