![]() One of the main tactics of the RobbinHood ransomware was to install a special Gigabyte signed driver (Arntz). It could also set up a backdoor through which the attacker could connect to your computer. For example if the user runs the trojan program, it may turn off all security on the computer without the user knowing what is happening. The attackers need pretty much full access to the computer in order to turn off all the necessary permissions and then encrypting all the files. Once the attackers have initially infected your system, they will now take action to control it through some vulnerability. The Robinhood ransomware used two methods, trojans and brute forcing Remote Desktop Protocols (Arntz). There are many ways ransomware can initially infect a system, such as executables in email attachments, downloading sketchy applications, and pretty much any conventional method. Ransomware is software so it must first infect a computer before it can operate on a system. As our guide, I’ll use the Robinhood Ransomware as an example. Next we’ll go through each one in more detail. These are the basic steps of a ransomware attack. Usually the attackers will “kidnap” your system by encrypting most of the files on your computer to make it next to useless. Someone takes your computer system hostage and demands a ransom. At a high level Ransomware is exactly what it sounds like.
