Ransomware is becoming a growing problem, posing a massive threat to all computer users – particularly businesses with many users and shared network drives.
The typical ransomware starts with a user being invited to “open” a document, but what they don’t realise that it is actually a program that silently starts encrypting every document the user has access to- even if they don’t have admin-rights on the computer. Once the files are encrypted the user offered the chance to decrypt the files for a fee.
RanSim is a free tool for Windows that will simulate several ransom-ware style attacks and will let you know how vulnerable your computer is. Providing you the opportunity to test various anti-virus tools.
What Is Cryptolocker Virus
CryptoLocker virus: is a series of ransomeware infections that we have recently classified as extremely dangerous and recommend removing immediately. This page will show you precise instruction on how to remove the CryptoLocker virus. The CryptoLocker virus hijacks the computer and limits is functionality in an attempt to hold your PC ransom. How can I get Cryptolocker on purpose (for testing) In short, I am looking to infect a few ESXi VMs to research how Cryptolocker infects individual workstations. We've had some bad luck with customers getting infected recently. Software restriction policies, and removing local admin rights seem to have no effect.
It will ONLY simulate ransomware – it DOES NOT encrypt any files.
It tests vulnerability for:
- InsideCryptor – encrypts files using strong encryption and overwrites most of the content of the original files with the encrypted data.
- LockyVariant – simulates the behavior of a recent version of Locky ransomware.
- Mover – Encrypts files in a different folder using strong encryption and safely deletes the original files.
- Replacer – Replaces the content of the original files. A real ransomware would show a message that fools users into thinking they can recover them.
- Streamer – Encrypts files and writes data into a single file, using strong encryption, then deletes the original files.
- StrongCryptor – Encrypts files using strong encryption and safely deletes the original files.
- StrongCryptorFast – Encrypts files using strong encryption and deletes the original files.
- StrongCrytptorNet – Encrypts files using strong encryption and deletes the original files. It also simulates sending the encryption key to a server using an HTTP connection.
- ThorVariant – Simulates the behavior of a recent version of Thor ransomware.
- WeakCryptor – Encrypts files using weak encryption and deletes the original files.

This software's interface is very intuitive, and you will find various scanning modes for the system in the main program window. You can choose from a quick scan, specific location scans or a complete scan. Spyhunter will provide detailed information on any malicious files.
This application will help prevent spyware and badware from installing itself in your system, thanks to its advanced anti-rootkits protection. Rootkits are a type of software that uses coded and hidden files and folders in order to avoid being detected by antivirus software. When SpyHunter finds rootkits, it eliminates them when you restart your computer.
In addition, in order to completely eliminate rootkits and prevent them from reappearing on the computer, SpyHunter includes a tool that allows you to turn on the system without initiating Windows so that the rootkit disappears.
