Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. | ||

I have an external hard drive with everything copied on, and various back ups on USBs, but, coincidently, my external hard drive was plugged into my computer and got encrypted too. My fault anyway, should never have downloaded this shit movie. I was not aware this kind of virus existed too... | ||

Anybody have some knowledge on the subject and give me his point of view ? It's dead ? Should I keep the datas somewhere ? Or should I format everything, drink some whisky, and accept my idiocy ? Unfortunately, this is correct. Or you could keep it around and wait for quantum computing to catch up, at which point you can probably decrypt it before the heat death of the universe. But with current tech, that's not possible. Cerber seems to be a nasty piece of work without any obvious workarounds, so you are screwed  | ||

That has nothing to do with the amount of workers of the digital ocean $5/month droplets. Those worker threads work on the client side, not on your server. The only thing that your server will do is write the lat-long locations whenever it receives an update. What will happen on your client is: Client will have seperate threads for UI rendering and updating the server and because of this fact, your browser won't think that you are rendering the UI whenever you update the server. | ||

I figured out most of my files where backed up in another old computer (it's a save from last year but it's pretty complete, I just miss my recent work). But I'm receiving mails from colleagues because cerber encrypted the dropbox. Seriously I was pissed, now I'm just laughing. | ||

I think you can recover old file versions from dropbox, they shouldn't be encrypted as well edit: not really sure how extensive the dropbox file history is, probably not on the level of git. You can try I guess, just go to the web version -> right click file -> previous versions | ||

Not sure if dropbox has some bulk previous restore function that could help. Make sure to quarantine the infected computer! | ||

Maybe you can try something like that if you're good at wireshark. x) | ||

I told to the ransom support that I couldn't pay and they offered me a 20 % discount. So nice, such nice guys really. So now I only need to pay for 400 € approximatly. I answered that I was poor and shit, I had no tooth and all, and that I didn't have even one euro to spare. They will certainly listen their hearts and propose me a bigger discount .... | ||

I am trying to read data from a .csv file. The example code creates a csv.reader and then uses the following to iterate over rows: ... spamreader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=' ', quotechar='|') How can I access rows directly? For example, I want to exclude the first row as it consists of column headers, not actual data. I also want to be able to access individual rows (row 44, for example). Do I need to use this loop to create some dictionary and index them myself, or is there a simpler way? spamreader.row[0] is apparently not a thing. | ||

I'm running it right now, but if anybody is as dumb as me, or know someone as dumb as me, then you'll know that there is a partial free solution at the moment. https://success.trendmicro.com/portal_kb_articledetail?solutionid=1114221 Apparently the cerber encryption is flawed at some point, so you can decrypt the files if the program is able able to find the first file that was encrypted. The more microprocessor you have, the less the decryptor is efficient tho, so funnily enough it is easier to decrypt cerber on a shit PC than on a good one. CERBER decryption must be executed on the infected machine itself (as opposed to another machine) since the tool needs to try and locate the first infected file for a critical decryption calculation. Due to the method of decryption for CERBER, the tool may take several hours (average is 4) to complete decryption on a standard Intel i5 dual-core machine. In addition, the encryption logic for CERBER also is built in such a way that the more cores a CPU has, the lower percentage chance of success for the decryption because of its complexity. Similar to some other types of ransomware encryption, some files may be only partially decrypted and may require a subsequent file repair. | ||
