[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 907720, member: 86910"] Please note that this is not a vaccine. It's a generic ransomware detection with process kill to prevent encryption. It does not remove the ransomware which is fully fine for the scope of a PoC code. I also believe that most AVs do have some detection like this in their software. What's the difference of vaccine vs detect&kill? A vaccine is passive. It does not actively remove or kill the malware. Vaccine works against one specific malware by applying characteristics to the system that persuades the malware to not work (properly) in the first place. E.g. classic vaccines for viruses would apply their infection markers. The virus will "think" the system is already infected and not execute the infection routine. A vaccine for a ransomware might persuade the ransomware that it already encrypted the system. Generic vaccines are very rare. They are usually specifically against one strain of malware. Detect & kill is an active protection. It has to run constantly or regularly to work and there must be some non-malware procedure that executes the kill or removal of files. [/QUOTE]
