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.
