    Has anyone tried this? Would be cool to test HMPA and AppCheck against this stuff.

    Here's an item in their FAQ that tripped me up. Under the question, "My files are not being encrypted! Why?", the last item is:
    I suspect that this may be above many people's pay grade. it certainly is above mine.

    Hi there, I'm the author of ransomwiz.


    I'm sorry that the FAQ wasn't clear enough.
    I was referring to selections within the wizard itself in cases where the "Native-extended" delete ("FileDispositionInformationEx") or rename ("FileRenameInformationEx") functions are selected (under the "File Handling" stage) along with an old Windows version that doesn't support them (i.e., these functions were introduced in a later Windows release).
    I'll make sure to correct the FAQ (and the redundant "not") so it'll be less confusing.
    Thanks for your input!

    Also, you may have noticed that most of the wizard steps has reference to documentation where you can read more about the techniques / methods in use (look for the "[i]" links).


    Feel free to contact me via Twitter or email if you need further assistance with running the samples in your lab or if you have any feedback/questions. I'd be happy to help!
