How to create a honeypot against ransomware with Windows Powershell?
<p>Is it possible to create a sort of honeypot against encryptions? As in stepping ahead of mass data loss by a malicious program like cryptolocker and stopping it? How in terms would a script like this look?</p>

<p>I've tried poking around google for and found a couple of discussions. The key is to create a file in a directory typically attacked first (like Recycling bin) and if it is modified by a certain program or user, they are immediately denied access to any further files.</p>

<p>Now I know this is a wide question, but I'm having a hard time gathering useful information and would appreciate straight answers or useful articles. I've even found a way to get around ransomware by using API hooks, though that's a more difficult topic for me.</p>

<p>I will continue researching this on my own, but everything and anything helps.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
