Python based ransomware that uses Symmetric key encryption (AES), Believe it or not I made the first version under 24 hours (So expect the code to be messy). It has stuff like a normal ransomware do, a list of encrypted files, the amount, the btc address to pay, decryptor, and it saves even after restart (Also smtplib will show the user static IP by opening gmail, scrolling down to the bottom, and click details
on the bottom right [below Last account activity: ... minute
]). This code is tested per piece so I am not sure if it works but theoritically it should. This version is still in stages of development.
main.py
might be out of date compared to main - development.py
, this is not because I forgot about it. It is just me still trying to find a reason to do a 5 min work that I could do right now instead of postponing it. (P.S. Just remove most """
and some #
at the end you'd be good to go)
CURRENT STATUS: main.py is not outdated
This project is for educational purposes only to show how would a ransomware possibly work and encrypt your data
- Finish up
post-infect
function that infects it with Project Gideon - Switch to
Twofish
orBlowfish
Algorithm. - Make it so that even if the user stops the process of nuking, once reopened it will just continue
- More Testing
- tkinter (for the ransomware demand screen)
- cryptography (To encrypt and decrypt)
TBD
- Get 2 burner emails
- Put it on
SENDER
andRECEIVER
variable on the top
- Get an app password for the
SENDER
email - Install dependencies modules
- remove the commented out encryptor, decryptor, and find_file function alongside the function call on the bottom for inserting to startup and sending via email (I heavily advice against removing the commented out tkinter attributes and configs)
- Change the BTC address to your own (Unnecessary if you just want a preview)
-
file header encryptor & decryptor.py
is another way to encrypt a file, instead of encrypting the whole file, it encrypts just the header. -
This uses
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
algorithm to encrypt but I suggest you look at other algs likeRSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman)
,Blowfish
,Twofish
,3DES (Triple DES)
,Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
, andSerpent
. I might consider to move to Blowfish or Twofish for it's speed but we'll see. P.S.ECC
,3DES
,Serpent
andRSA
is most likely slower thanAES/Blowfish/Twofish
but some definitely have better security.
