Prerequisites

• Visual Studio Community Edition
• .NET Framework

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/RDN-Ransomware-System.git
   cd RDN-Ransomware-System

2. Download Visual Studio Community

   Download and install Visual Studio Community. During installation, select the ".NET desktop development" workload.

3. Download Source Code

   • Download the encrypter code:

     • Go to the provided GitHub link.
     • Click on "Code" and select "Download ZIP".
     • Extract the ZIP file to a safe folder (not your desktop).

   • Download the decrypter code:

     • Repeat the above steps for the decrypter code.

4. Open the Project in Visual Studio

   • Navigate to the encrypter's folder.
   • Open the solution file (Encrypter.sln) in Visual Studio.
   • Unlock the file if necessary by right-clicking, selecting "Properties", and then "Unblock".

5. Build and Run the Encrypter

   • Clean and build the solution in Visual Studio.
   • Navigate to bin/Debug to find the executable.
   • Run the executable to start the encryption process.

6. Decrypting Files

   • Open the decrypter's solution file (Decrypter.sln) in Visual Studio.
   • Ensure the password matches the encrypter's password.
   • Clean and build the solution.
   • Run the decrypter executable from bin/Debug to decrypt the files.

Usage

1. Encrypting Files

   Run the encrypter executable. It will encrypt files in the specified directories and append a custom extension to indicate encryption.

2. Decrypting Files

   Run the decrypter executable with the correct password to decrypt the files and restore them to their original state.
