Installation

To install and run LazyWare, ensure that you have Python version 3.12.7 or later installed.

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Install the dependencies with the following command:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Dependencies

LazyWare requires the following Python libraries:

Python Version: 3.12.7

colorama==0.4.6
cryptography==43.0.1
pyarmor==8.5.12
pyarmor.cli.core==6.5.3
pyinstaller==6.10.0
pyinstaller-hooks-contrib==2024.8

Usage

Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the generator with the following command:

python generate.py

Required Settings

1. When running generate.py, you will be prompted to configure the following settings:
2. Target Disk/Folder: Specify the disk or folder to be encrypted.
3. File Name: Set the name for the generated executable file (e.g., prize.exe, invoice.exe, game.exe).
4. Encrypted File Extension: Enter the extension for encrypted files (e.g., .encrypted).
5. Icon File: Choose the icon to use for the executable file.
6. Target File Extensions: Enter the file extensions you want to encrypt (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .jpg, .png).
7. Message for Victim: Enter a note that will be shown to the victim (usually in the form of a README file).

Example Usage

Here's an example of how to use LazyWare:

1. Select the target disk/folder for encryption: C:/Users/Target/Documents/
2. Set the file name: invoice.exe
3. Set the extension for encrypted files: .locked
4. Choose an icon for the file: icon.ico
5. Set target file extensions for encryption: .docx, .pdf, .jpg
6. Write a README message to be displayed to the victim.

Once completed, the executable file will be generated with the provided settings.

How It works?

After running the generator.py program, you will be guided through several configuration steps. Once the configuration is completed, the program will automatically generate two files: the ransomware encryptor (lib/source.py) and the decryptor (lib/source_de.py) based on the configuration you provided.

Next, the program will obfuscate the source code and compile it into an executable using pyarmor and pyinstaller. The open-source .py files, the compiled executable, and the KEY.txt file containing the encryption key will all be automatically generated in the output/ directory.
