[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 858368, member: 83059"] I agree with that, though I will wager a bet that if everyone had a behavior blocker as good as Emsisoft/DeepGuard/KSW, for a ransomware writer an exposed key is better than no ransomware at all. In practice that Node.js exploit is more likely what you will see in the wild. Bring along a non AMSI enabled interpreter to do your dirty work for you. A lot of video games include Lua or Python interpreters in their installation. Professional tools like MATLAB and AutoCAD all have scriptable modes. Some game engines are so dumb that they just have an ini file that you can fill with arbitrary commands. I've also noticed that most AVs don't react to things happening within WSL/WSL2, so I'm working on my next exploit pack that uses WSL :) I just found the WinRAR example funny more than anything else because creating a password protected archive is just such a lazy way of making ransomware. What's next, open the document in Microsoft Office and script it to turn on password protection? [/QUOTE]
