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.
