This cybersecurity project aims to understand how a malware works and focus on ransomware.In our case the program will only affect a small portion of the local files.
Since it's only a prototype, there's isn't any ransom to pay to decrypt the files. Plus, the program will only affect the files in the ~/infection directory and the spread will stay local.
The program is written in C++
Because it's a simple C++ project, there isn't much to say here
NOTE: Despite the fact that the program is an harmless malware, it's still a malware. So please, don't use it on your computer but on a virtual machine and more importantly don't use it for malicious purposes.
