Basic-Ransomware-using-python

This is a very basic ransomware created using python and cryptography library fernet.

Fernet guarantees that a message encrypted using it cannot be manipulated or read without the key. Fernet is an implementation of symmetric (also known as “secret key”) authenticated cryptography.

Running the encrypt.py file will generate a key and store it in the "thekey.key" file. This key can be used to decrypt the file once it is encrypted.
