Inhibiting crypto‐ransomware on windows platforms through a honeyfile‐based approach with R‐Locker

The authors extend their anti-ransomware tool R-Locker to Windows, relying on a honeyfile-based approach in which 'infinite' trap files are disseminated around the target filesystem for early detection and to block ransomware action. The Windows version addresses differences in FIFO handling and adds improved global management of honeyfiles and (semi)automated blocking of suspicious ransomware through the dynamic use of white-/black-lists.
