Urgent decryption! #147

Closed MrFr11man closed 1 year ago

MrFr11man commented 1 year ago

I would like to apologize right away for the trouble and it is possible that I am addressing a question that does not concern you ... When transferring data to another PC using the Laplink PCmover program, I received a 110Gb .pcv file which now I cannot decrypt in any way .... I'm asking for help!! I've tried to open everything I can!!! there are 4 years of life and work, money, documents...😭 And all this data was needed yesterday...

Take a deep breath, you'll likely be fine. Can you tell me approximately how long ago the volume was created?

MrFr11man commented 1 year ago

Just Saturday. The thing is that I used not official PCmover...🤦‍♂️

What's the error message in Picocrypt?

MrFr11man commented 1 year ago

there is no error there, I wrote above, this encrypted pcv container was created in PCmoover and I did not enter the passwords that are needed for decryption by your program.

HACKERALERT commented 1 year ago

So you've never used Picocrypt but somehow the software you used created a Picocrypt volume?

MrFr11man commented 1 year ago

your program is the only one that works with .pcv files, I have already tried everything else and it did not work ... Just decided to ask your help if possible...

HACKERALERT commented 1 year ago

image Ah so it seems like .pcv files are not specific to Picocrypt and may be part of PC Mover. Have you tried "opening" the .pcv file in PC Mover on your new PC?

HACKERALERT commented 1 year ago

image Multiple sources seem to say that PC Mover uses .pcv files, so it's likely not related to Picocrypt which just happens to use the same file extension. Try to see if you can open or restore the .pcv file within PC Mover.

MrFr11man commented 1 year ago

Yes, of course. But PCmoover just like freezing at at the time of calculating the required time for data transfer.and that all...

HACKERALERT commented 1 year ago

Ah well I guess I can't really help with that since the .pcv file has no relation to Picocrypt. Try updating PCmover or asking for help in a related forum? image

MrFr11man commented 1 year ago

I feel like I'm totally screwed... thanks for taking the time! have a nice day!)
