- This malware is only created for the CTF competition and has no harmful effects. But still do not run the malware in a folder containing useful documents
- This malware is only based on linux based machines for now.
- Unzip the release, using
unzip sussy-malware.zip
- Change the directory using
cd sussy-malware
- Make the binary executable using
chmod +x ./sussy-malware
- Open a file explorer to observe the behaviour.
- As visible, there are some dummy documents to show the behaviour the malware, and it will only affect the documents inside that folder to prevent accidental loss of inormation.
- Run the executable using
./sussy-malware
and follow the instructions - Do not close the terminal window while the malware is running, or it will not restore the information. But still if you found the flag it will be valid and you dont have to worry about the documents as they are dummy.
