FAQ

Q. How do I run/execute it on my Windows machine?

A. Download the latest release: Py-Ran Releases; PASSWORD for the ZIP is pyran

Q. My AV/EDR did not detect the execution. What should I do?

A. It means your environment is not ready to stop the tiny-est (not sure if that's a word, lol) ransomware threats. You have a lot of work to do. (First setup a backup mechanism!)

Q. My AV/EDR detected the execution. Does it mean I'm safe?

A. Not really. Py-Ran is a very simple ransomware simulator. Watch this space for more details on possible precautions and steps against ransomwares.

TO-DO

• Add some randomness and Configuration wizard.

• Beat EDRs at their own game!

• Write some references about precautions to be taken to avoid ransomware attacks
