| Error Message | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------------|--------------|----------| | "Invalid IX header" | File is not IX-encrypted or header corrupted | Repair header using backup or carve from raw disk | | "Decryption output is larger than input" | Wrong XOR key; padding errors | Try different key seeds (0x58 = 'X') or use ECB mode | | "Key not found" (in Emsisoft) | Password complexity too high or different ransomware variant | Use Hashcat with a dictionary attack on the extracted hash | | "File still unreadable after decrypt" | Correct decryption but wrong file extension | Use file command (Linux) or TrID to identify the real file type | a bronze plate
