Makop Ransomware Decryptor
After extensive reverse engineering of Makop’s encryption method, our security team developed a powerful decryptor capable of restoring data for numerous businesses worldwide. It works seamlessly on Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi platforms, delivering speed, dependability, and accuracy.
How the Tool Operates
- AI & Blockchain-Powered Analysis – Files are processed in a secure cloud system, with blockchain technology confirming the authenticity of the recovery.
- Victim ID Matching – Uses the unique identifier from your ransom note to map your specific encryption batch.
- Universal Decryption Option – If you don’t have the ransom note, our premium version supports the most recent Makop strains, including .mpk, .makop, and similar variants.
- Safe Execution – Operates in read-only mode to check file integrity before initiating recovery.
System Requirements
- Copy of the ransom note (readme-warning.txt or equivalent)
- Access to encrypted files
- Stable internet connection for cloud decryption
- Administrative rights (local or domain)
Immediate Actions After a Makop Ransomware Attack
Cut Off the Infection
Immediately disconnect compromised systems from the network to prevent further encryption of shared drives, servers, or backup repositories.
Preserve All Data and Evidence
Keep the ransom note and all encrypted files intact. Save system logs, memory captures, and network traffic data for forensic work.
Shut Down Affected Systems Properly
Avoid restarts, as they may trigger more malicious scripts. Don’t format drives or delete shadow copies.

Steps to Decrypt Makop .mpk Files and Restore Data
Makop ransomware is notorious for hitting sectors like healthcare, education, government, and business. Our decryptor takes advantage of weaknesses in certain Makop builds to unlock files without paying the attackers. It supports Windows, Linux, and ESXi systems.
Makop Decryption & Data Recovery Choices
Free Solutions
1. Public Decryptors for Outdated Builds
- Functionality – Some old Makop variants used flawed RSA keys, allowing public tools to work on .makop or early .mpk files.
- Limitations – Current .mpk versions employ stronger encryption, making these tools ineffective.
- Offline Capability – Can be tested safely without internet access.
2. Backup Restoration
- Method – Use offline or off-site backups to replace encrypted files.
- Verification – Run checksum validation to ensure backup integrity.
- Immutable Storage Advantage – Solutions like WORM or snapshot-based storage improve survivability.
3. Virtual Machine Snapshots
- Reversion – Restore systems to snapshots created before the attack.
- Isolation – Validate snapshots before rollback.
- Retention – Frequent snapshots increase recovery options.
4. Open-Source Brute Force Utilities
Some researchers have released brute force tools targeting Makop versions with timestamp leaks.
Paid Options
Paying the Ransom
- Victim ID Matching – Attackers send a decryptor bound to your unique ID.
- Delivery Risk – No guarantee the tool will work.
- Legal/Ethical Concerns – Paying could be illegal in some jurisdictions.
Third-Party Negotiators
- Intermediary Role – Experts may negotiate reduced ransom demands.
- Verification – Request proof of decryption on sample files.
- High Costs – Service fees can be substantial.
Our Proprietary Makop .mpk Decryptor
Operation
- Built on in-depth cryptographic flaw analysis.
- Utilizes a secure cloud sandbox for decryption with integrity checks.
- All vendors undergo verification to prevent fraud.
Guided Makop Recovery Process Using Our Tool
- Assess the Situation – Identify encrypted file extensions (.mpk, .makop, .lezp, .locked) and check for a ransom note.
- Stabilize the Network – Disconnect infected systems to halt the spread.
- Engage Our Team – Provide us with sample encrypted files and the ransom note.
- Run the Decryptor – Enter your Victim ID and initiate recovery.
Offline vs. Online Recovery Approaches
- Offline – Air-gapped, ideal for high-security networks.
- Online – Faster, with real-time technical assistance.
Our decryptor supports both methods.
What is Makop .mpk Ransomware?
Makop is a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) that locks files and demands cryptocurrency payments. In many attacks, the malware exfiltrates sensitive data before encryption.
Connection to Other Ransomware Operations
Makop shares tools, infrastructure, and attack styles with groups behind GlobeImposter, Phobos, and Dharma ransomware.
Inside the Makop Attack Chain
How It Gains Access
- Phishing Emails – Malicious attachments containing Makop loaders.
- RDP Exploitation – Brute-forcing or exploiting weak credentials.
- Application Exploits – Leveraging unpatched vulnerabilities in exposed systems.
Tools, Tactics, and MITRE Mapping
- Credential Theft – Mimikatz, LaZagne
- Reconnaissance – Advanced IP Scanner, SoftPerfect Network Scanner
- Defense Evasion – Process Hacker, PowerTool
- Data Theft – RClone, Mega.nz, AnyDesk
- Encryption – AES-256 combined with RSA-2048
Known Makop Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)
- File Extensions – .mpk, .makop, .lezp, .locked
- Ransom Note Names – readme-warning.txt, _readme.txt
- Persistence Tools – AnyDesk, Ngrok
- Outbound Traffic – Mega.nz, anonfiles.com
Prevention and Mitigation Recommendations
- Apply MFA to RDP and VPN access.
- Keep all systems patched and updated.
- Block known C2 domains.
