To read more about OnionCryper and how it works, check out Jakub Kaloč’s posting on Avast Decoded. BitCrypter v.2.0.2.5 BitCrypter is a high-performance crypter and protector for native Windows 32bit exe files and. Our team’s capability for deep research is good for both Avast customers and also for everyone else because this information helps inform those who design and improve upon security software. Now, we’re able to look for that part and examine it more closely when we find it in something new - our research has shown us that in these cases, it’s a new kind of malware. Returning to the car analogy, we’ve identified a specific part in the engine that many malware families use. With the information that Avast researchers have found on OnionCrypter, we’re making it easier for us and others to detect not only OnionCrypter, but also anything that uses it. In just a few words, Crypter is a modern and lightweight piece of. In advertising on forums, this is frequently advertised as a fully undetectable (FUD) crypter. Fortunately, there are tons of apps that can lend you a helping hand towards encrypting your data with ease, for example, Crypter. Tested in Windows 7 and 8 (may work in Xp, Vista and 10).

It’s important to note that the name reflects the many layers this crypter uses, and it’s in no way related to the Tor browser or network. OnionCrypter is unusual because of the way it uses multiple layers to hide its information. Put simply, the information is hidden within the layers of the “onion” of its encryption. We’ve chosen this name because this particular crypter uses multiple techniques to make it harder for researchers, antivirus, and security software to read the information that it protects. Our researchers looked into a specific crypter that we’re calling OnionCrypter.
