Abstract

Ransomware represents a class of malicious applications that encrypts the files of infected system and demands from victims a payment in cryptocurrency in order to receive the decryption key. The mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies increased the number of ransomware attack. The outbreaks had risen in complexity and received mass-media attention in 2017 when two destructive campaigns crippled companies and institutions around the world. These outbreaks continue at an accelerated pace even though efforts are made to improve the detection and mitigation of ransomware. The purpose of this research is to assess the efficiency of current malware analysis methods and technologies in the detection of ransomware. The experiments presented here were performed using antivirus engines and dynamic malware analysis against live obfuscated ransomware samples.
