Ridiculous Ransomware Kill Switch

Posted May 5, 2022

Since the malvuln project started it is now approaching almost 600 vulnerable pieces of malware to date. Witnessing the endless ransomware attacks in the news and as I had no ransom trophy kills, I figured I would take a crack at it. At first, ransomware seemed like a big challenge. I am not aware of any sample that listen on any ports that can be abused and local elevation of privilege techniques mean nothing when things get encrypted immediately.
