Apparently many of us found out about the possible “doomsday” file that Wikileak had embedded in one of their leaks as a single massive 1.4GB file, “insurance.AES256”
I happened to download that and found out in forums on how to open it using AESCRYPT32 FOR WINDOWS.
- Download it
- Once it’s downloaded, Unzip the package and you’ll find each a .exe and .msi file.
- Doubleclick on the .msi file and follow the prompts.
- AESCrypt has been installed to C:\Program Files\AESCrypt\
- Using Windows Explorer, navigate to that directory and take the 3 files from it.. two .exe and one .dll and put them back into C:\ (the root of the drive)
- Take insurance.256aes and put that in your C:\ drive too, so you have 4 files sitting there. AESCrypt.dll aescrypt.exe AESCrypt32.exe and last but not least, insurance.256aes
- Click on your Start button and goto Run or in Windows 7 / Vista, you can type it straight into the ‘Search for Files or Programs” bar.. type in command and hit enter.
- From there, you need to get back to c:\ type in “cd \” and you will be returned to the root of the drive being C:\.
- From there, type this.. aescrypt32 insurance.aes256
- A window should pop up prompting you for the magical password.
- Or you can just install aescrypt, go to the insurance file>right click>properties>change opens with>browse to aescrypt32>ok
- then you just need to double click the insurance file whenever you want to view it/prompt for password.
The question is what is the password and if you happen to have that password do you want to know what’s inside this file?
You can either see the spreadsheet HERE or below
Below is the “failed” passwords so that you don’t need to try them.
Update: Seems like some comments indicated that this insurance file can only be opened by OpenSSL encryption, anyone know the software to use to decrypt it?
