Extract text from encrypted files (ODIN)
To convert ODIN files to another format, you need Malwarebytes or other Encoded software.
To convert other file formats to the "Ransomware Encrypted File" file type, you need software like Malwarebytes or a similar tool.
The .ODIN file extension is created by a destructive variant of the Locky ransomware. It indicates that your original files (such as documents, images, or databases) have been maliciously encrypted and locked by cybercriminals. Victims typically discover these files alongside a ransom note demanding cryptocurrency in exchange for a decryption tool.
There is no standard consumer software designed to natively open or read .ODIN files. Because the ransomware uses a combination of RSA-2048 and AES-128 encryption algorithms, the files are fundamentally broken from a usability standpoint. The primary disadvantage of this format is absolute data inaccessibility. You cannot simply rename the extension to DOCX or JPG to restore the file, as the internal binary structure has been completely scrambled.
Since direct conversion is impossible without the private decryption key, the recommended target is to safely restore the original unencrypted files from an offline backup. Standard online converters fail to process .ODIN files because the original file headers (the metadata that tells software how to read the file) have been overwritten and encrypted. The file is functionally a closed, proprietary lockbox.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ODIN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert ODIN file to BASE64, HEX, BIN, ENC, CRYPT, AES, DES, RSA, PGP, GPG, ASC or KEY, you can use Malwarebytes or similar software from the "Ransomware Encrypted Data" 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 ODIN, try Malwarebytes or another comparable tool in the "Ransomware Encrypted Data" 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 ODIN converter.
