Detection and Avoidance of Ransomware

Ransomwareis a type of malware that stops or limits users from accessing their system, either by securing the system's screen or by locking the users' files unless a ransom is paid. Further present ransomware families, collectively characterized as crypto-ransomware, encode certain file types on infected systems and forces users to pay the ransom through certain online payment methods to get the key for decryption. Hindering of ransomware is necessary in order to save the user’s file. This paper proposes the automatic test packet generation (ATPG) .ATPG is a model which is used to produce a minimum set of test packs to exercise each link in the network. Test packets are sent occasionally, and detected failures prompt a distinct mechanism to localize the fault. ATPG reads router configurations and creates a device-independent model. This method prevents the ransomware from entering the system.

Keywords- Ransomware, Automatic Test Packet Generation (ATPG), Fault detection.
