Extract text from Encrypted files (POOP)
To convert POOP 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.
A .POOP file is a maliciously encrypted data file created by the POOP Ransomware infection. Cybercriminals use this malware to locate your personal documents, images, and databases, lock them with strong cryptographic algorithms, and append the .POOP extension to the original filenames (for example, financial_report.pdf.poop).
You cannot open these files with standard software. To restore access, victims typically require a specific private decryption key. Security researchers and antivirus companies like Malwarebytes sometimes release free decryption tools, but often the only guaranteed way to recover the data is from an offline backup. You can learn more about how these attacks function on the Ransomware Wikipedia page.
Users frequently try to convert .POOP files back to their original target formats, such as JPG, PDF, or DOCX, hoping to bypass the lock. The severe disadvantage of this format is that your data is held hostage; the files are completely useless in their current state and cannot be recovered through simple formatting changes.
Standard online converters fail to process it because the file data is mathematically scrambled, not just saved in a different structure. Breaking military-grade encryption like AES or RSA is impossible for format converters.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary, and maliciously engineered format. Emphasize that often only the original software (or the attacker's decryption tool) can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible, though encrypted data usually appears as random, unreadable characters.
Convert.Guru analyzes your POOP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MP4 files.
If you want to convert POOP file to MP4, you can use Malwarebytes or similar software from the "Ransomware Data Extortion" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to POOP, try Malwarebytes or another comparable tool in the "Ransomware Data Extortion" 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 POOP converter.
