Abstract
Ransomware has been a growing threat in recent years. The success of ransomware attacks have made this a financial threat in the real world. This spillover of hazards from the digital world to the real world makes it more important tounderstand ransomware and the threat it poses to its victims. With data and information going to the cloud the loss of this data and its confidentiality would result in other major issues, which previous attacks have not posed. Thus we are using the
UNVEIL ransomware analysis system to understand its application and methodology. For this we are taking two ransomware specimens, namely WannaCry and Gandcrab, as candidates to see how their attack pattern can be better understood
using the UNVEIL system for its analysis. The goal here is to learn from the present ransomware analysis systems, and to improve upon them to better deal with future ransomware attacks.
