Executing WannaCry Ransomware: Will It Encrypt?

In this video, I execute a WannaCry ransomware sample to check whether the execution is successful and if encryption occurs. Unlike my previous analysis of Locky ransomware, which failed to encrypt files due to an inability to connect to its C2 server, this time, I aim to debug the sample and explore its behavior. 📌 Key Highlights: ✔️ Executing the WannaCry ransomware sample in a controlled environment. ✔️ Observing its behavior and checking for encryption. ✔️ Sharing a beginner-friendly approach to dynamic malware analysis with minimal tools. ✔️ Preparing for the next video, where I will debug the sample to understand its encryption technique. 🔗 Watch my previous video on dynamic analysis with minimal tools:    • Malware Analysis - Practical Dynamic Analy...      • Malware Analysis - Practical Dynamic Analy...      • Malware Analysis - Practical Dynamic Analy...   I mistakenly referred to registry keys as regular expressions as I had been working on regex earlier that day, which led to the mix-up—sorry for the confusion! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This analysis is performed in a virtualized, isolated environment.
