PyPI-Ransomware

PyPI Ransomware POC (For Educational Purposes Only).

About

PyPI-Ransomware is a ransomware POC that runs from the setup.py script of a package I created.

If installed by mistake, please go to the Decrypt section in Usage.

PyPI POC url: https://pypi.org/project/WARNING-PyPI-Ransomeware/

Note: the POC is by no means a good ransomware, it only utilizes symmetric encryption with an hardcoded key.

Requirements

The POC requires Python3 and pip to use.

Usage

Encrypt:

WARNING: The POC will encrypt your files, use at your own risk.

pip install WARNING-PyPI-Ransomeware

Decrypt:

To decrypt your files use the decrypt.py script with the KEY file in the Decrypter directory on the user's desktop:

python3 decrypt.py
