TheNiceRansomware - Android NDK Edition





Did you miss TheNiceRansomware ??

Great :) because I'm releasing today a new edition of this awesome project, this time for Android OS, using NDK.
Why writing with NDK instead of Java/Kotlin you ask? 2 reasons:

1. I wrote some code with NDK in the past and I needed a reason to dive back into running c/cpp native code on Android.
2. It's cool (and some say harder to reverse)

This app will scan the entire storage path and search for common file extensions (which can be modified), then it will use its magic code to encrypt the found files and ruin your day.
Just kidding :P  some of the comments I received from the original TheNiceRansomware were saying that altough this is an unweaponized PoC, people could still use it for malicious activities. This is why this time I left most of the malicious code out of the repo.
If you wish to have the complete code, please contact me and explain who you are and what is your goal, but bear in mind that I will release it only for people I know. Thanks for your understanding :)
