This is a recording of Cyber Crucible's Ransomware Rewind ransomware protection software. Ryuk ransomware, one of the most damaging ransomware malware variants, is downloaded from Virustotal. The ransomware is run, encrypting the entire machine. Then, Ransomware Rewind is able to provide a decryption solution within 4 minutes. The computer is brought back to operation quickly and effectively.
 
Thanks for sharing, but there is only one way to block ransomware. It's called backup. Disk images on external media, saving files to the cloud or simply copy-and-paste files to a flash drive are more than enough to not worry about ransomware. If you add to this a "normal" antivirus and a block policy on scripts, macros, etc. etc. you should not fear anything.
In my opinion, software specific for this type of malware is either useless or inappropriate.

Thanks for the share, but personal I would rather use something else.

I do hope this company learns soon how to use Windows 10 and also install a video screen recording tool. That will probably automatic make this seem a bit more serious.
UpNorth - this is a good learning opportunity for everyone on this forum. Thank you for the comment about video screen recording.

This particular Ryuk bundle was done per request of a client. It had a privilege escalation exploit and virtualization detection. The ransomware caused our Camtasia recordings to be corrupted, even when we ran in a privileged state. Due to virtualization detection, it was fastest to use a physical device. From time to time, we have to put a webcam in front of a physical device to record malware (not just ransomware).

At other times, we do see other features and configurations in ransomware, and would be glad to continue to share and educate.

No problem, your very welcome. Another small tip that I hope might help, is to check up on hardware based recording tools as you obviously have issue with the software.

Another thing I feel is important to mention. As a official representative and spoke person for the company, it's highly recommended get in contact with one of the administrators on this site/forum and get what's called verified. It will grant you a badge so anyone either guest or member actually know who you are. It all boils down to the keyword that I guess your very familiar with, trust.
