In this dissertation, we will present our version of a Crypto-Ransomware Detection Software (CRDS), coded in Python (ver. 3.9), for Windows OS. This CRDS monitors the filesystem, specifically the file operations, and alerts user if a crypto-ransomware infection is detected.
Namely, at first, we will examine the ever-growing phenomenon of ransomware attacks worldwide, against organizations and individuals, which led to building software tools capable of spotting and preventing such attacks.
Consequently, in “theory” section, we will analyze ransomware’s characteristics, it’s working mechanism and discrete variants – families, while in “practical” section will analyze our CRDS (working logic & code).
Finally in last two chapters, titled “Results” and “Conclusions”, will measure the precision and speed of alerting during an attack, which will lead us in conclusions regarding the effectiveness of this CRDS, together with some proposals for further optimization.
