Sup niggas, a bit back i wrote a ransomware in Python for the lulz. Which landed me, well one of my aliases on a list maintained by Red Sky Alliance. Which is the most Video Game name i ever heard for a conglomerate of threat intel firms. But that's besides the point.
Generally speaking ransomware is written in C or C++. Classically ransomware ops are conducted by sending the target a MalDoc with a dropper that deploys the ransomware. But i was thinking, what if we just say fuck that, and instead of a dropper we run cryprographic operations straight from the MalDoc. Now i don't know whether VB.NET, VBS or VBA has any crypto modules or whatever but i know the Win32 API has and i do believe you can use COM objects from the langs i just mentioned.
What do you guys think would be some good unconventional langs to write a ransomware in. Preferably those that come with a Windows install so the .NET suite is included. But if it can be compiled that'd be Gucci too.
