Ransomware

A python Ransomware made for educational purpose to learn about ransomware and how it works. It shows how a basic ransomware works

and encrypt files by palying a simple python and in background it encrypt all files without the user knwoledge.So for encrypted files we need

to decrypt them so also included a decryption python script to decrypt the encrypted files by entering the secret key in a text file called

secret.txt When running the decrypt script you need to enter the decrypt key that in secret.txt file so no need to worry of using this script

and A Warining you should not run the python script from the out of Ransomware directory . If you run the out of the directory all may be encrypted

and that will be your responsiblity so dont run the script from out of the directory. Learn and run enjoy!



Steps to be followed



Step2: chmod +x game.py
Step3: chmod +x decrypt_ransomware.py
step4: chmod +x encrypt_ransomware.py


Encrypt Method

python3 game.py
When Running this file you will play the game but actually in background it will encrypt the files in the current directory


Decrypt Method

python3 decrypt_ransomware.py
When running the decrypt script it will prompt to enter secret key that will be in secret.txt file and I also mention the secret key is "decrypt_me" and thats all then all encrypted files will be decrypted
