Here is a video showcasing the actual "ransomware" functionality of the malware I am writing in python. The only reason the operation took 7 minutes is because I provided minimal hardware resources to the virtual machine. It would be much, much faster with the average hardware of today's laptops/computers. You can mute the music. Watch in fullscreen to see what's going on!  

--side note: I am aware videos do not scale correctly with screen resolution(mobile) so viewing this page on mobile is a mess. I am looking into it.
