We had an older machine get hit by WannaCry, but it happened to have some files on it we'd rather keep. It took 3 weeks on the outdated hardware to crack the key and another 2 weeks to decrypt it all, but we recovered everything and paid no one.

My understanding is that wannacry uses rsa2048. Even the NSA couldn't brute force that. What am I missing?

What software did you use to decrypt it?
