        WannaCry is believed to use the EternalBlue exploit, which was developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA)to attack computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems.

        Hehe

          What works

          Encryption - Yes

          GUI - Yes

          What does not

          SMB & Network replication does not always work, may require SMB network patch.

          See: Misc Things to configure (Samba Shares)

          Some Font rendering issues.

          What was not tested

          Decryption

          Ransom Payment

          Uh oh. And giving it “platinum” even though some stuff doesn’t work and basic features weren’t tested is bullshit. I demand a retraction!

          Why? You don’t wanna know how well WannaCry runs via Wine? The site is perfectly harmless.

          It’s just an entry in Wine’s AppDB, where they keep track of how well apps run on wine. Like ProtonDB, but for general applications.

          It’s just to WineHQ’s AppDb, it just describes how well stuff works with Wine. It’s similar to the newer ProtonDB. Someone tested the WannaCry/WannaCrypt malware with Wine for the hell of it.
