TeslaCrypt/AlphaCrypt uses AES256 encryption. The AES key is generated using a SHA256 hash and due to the keys being stored on the infected machine, victims in many cases could likely decrypt files without paying the ransom. The newest variant, TeslaCrypt 2.0, uses the same encryption algorithm; however, the keys and other configuration data are stored in the Windows Registry instead of a file on the local disk (as in previous versions). This version masquerades as CryptoWall. The command and control (C&C) communications for new variants use the same AES256 encryption for any traffic to the attacker’s server; in previous variants, only Base64 encoding was used.
