On Aug. 12th 2014, a new sample was sent to me with the victim claiming it to be CryptoLocker. Upon running and quickly analyzing the exe, I found that it was a new Encrypting Ransomware (Whats new?). This infection claimed to be Cryptolocker, but also used the Ransom File Format of Cryptowall. I would guess the reason behind this was to gain fear in the victim when infected as those 2 Ransomware's are uncrackable. After running through my normal checks when first getting a Encryption infection sample, I started my not so normal ones. I made it a unwritten rule to myself that before trying to figure out hard encryption schemes the infection may use, to always try the easy ones quickly first. This means testing a encrypted file for MD5, SHA-1, RC2, RC4, XOR, Bit Shift and other lower encryption schemes first.
