Ransomware Chat Simulation

This repository contains a Python script for simulating chat negotiations with ransomware groups based on real-world behavior patterns.

Author: Antonio Brandao
Data Source: Based on real ransomware chat logs from Casualtek/Ransomchats.
Special Thanks: Valéry Marchive for insights and contributions.

Features

• Behavior Analysis: Reads behavior patterns from text files extracted from actual ransomware negotiations, allowing for realistic simulation of ransomware group interactions.
• API Flexibility: Supports integration with either OpenAI or xAI Grok APIs, giving flexibility in AI model usage for responses.
• User Interface: Offers a command-line interface with color-coded outputs to differentiate between user and ransomware responses.
• File Management: Includes a script to update terminology from 'behavior' to 'behaviour' for consistency with British English or specific project needs.

Usage

• Choose between OpenAI or xAI Grok for AI-powered responses in simulated ransomware negotiations.
• Select from a list of ransomware groups, sorted by the size of their behavior data, to simulate interactions.
• Engage in a simulated negotiation where the AI responds based on predefined behavior patterns.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• openai library for OpenAI API integration
• colorama for colored terminal text on Windows
• An API key for either OpenAI or xAI Grok services
