Extract text from Ransomware encrypted files (GOOD)
To convert GOOD Encrypted files to another format, you need Kaspersky ScatterDecryptor or other Encoded software.
To convert other file formats to the "Scatter Ransomware Encrypted Data" file type, you need software like Kaspersky ScatterDecryptor or a similar tool.
A .good file is not a standard file format; it is a maliciously modified file created by the Scatter Ransomware (often identified by antivirus software as Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Scatter or Trojan-Ransom.BAT.Scatter). It affects personal documents, images, databases, and videos by forcibly encrypting their contents and appending the .good extension to the original filename (e.g., financials.xlsx.good).
You cannot open these files with their native applications like Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat. Instead, you must use specialized cybersecurity decryption utilities like Kaspersky ScatterDecryptor to scan your system and safely restore the files to their original state.
Victims naturally want to "convert" .good files back to standard formats like PDF, JPG, or DOCX. However, traditional file conversion is impossible because the file has not been transcoded; it has been cryptographically locked using complex algorithms. Standard online converters will fail completely because the underlying binary structure is entirely scrambled and unreadable without the correct decryption key.
The ideal target format is always the exact file type it was prior to the malware infection. If decrypted successfully using official antivirus tools, the file is restored perfectly and no original data should be lost.
This file format is intentionally difficult to open or convert because the data is heavily obfuscated by malicious software. Often, only specialized decryption software can properly read or export the original data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - or if the ransomware failed to fully encrypt the file header - viewing or partial conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GOOD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GOOD file to BASE64, HEX, BIN, ENC, CRYPT, AES, DES, RSA, PGP, GPG, ASC or KEY, you can use Kaspersky ScatterDecryptor or similar software from the "Ransomware Encrypted File" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert CER, BIN, PEM, DER, KEY, P7S, PFX, ENC, P12, BASE64, P7B or HEX files to GOOD, try Kaspersky ScatterDecryptor or another comparable tool in the "Ransomware Encrypted File" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GOOD converter.
