# Ransomware Simulator

**Find out how vulnerable your network is against ransomware and cryptomining attacks.**

**Is your network _effective_ in blocking ransomware when employees fall for social engineering attacks?**

KnowBe4's Ransomware Simulator (RanSim) gives you a quick look at the effectiveness of your existing network protection.

RanSim will simulate **20 ransomware** infection scenarios and **1 cryptomining** infection scenario and show you if a workstation is vulnerable.

**Here's how RanSim Works:**

- 100% harmless simulation of a real ransomware and cryptomining infections
- Does not use any of your own files
- Tests 21 types of infection scenarios
- Just download the install and run it
- Results in a few minutes!

**NOTE:** Created for **Windows-based workstations running Windows 7+.** RanSim _does not alter any existing files on disk._ As part of the simulation RanSim does enumerate all files on the local disk(s). For the purposes of encryption, simulated data files are downloaded from the internet.
