Cortex Implant Ransomware Simulation Script for macOS

This repository houses the standalone shell script designed to simulate a ransomware attack on macOS. It is part of a larger project that includes a Flipper Zero BadUSB payload, available here.

Purpose

The script mimics a ransomware attack scenario by simulating the encryption of files and displaying various warning messages. This is intended for educational and research purposes only and does not actually encrypt any files or cause harm to the system.

Features

• Simulated Critical Errors: Displays a series of critical error messages to create urgency.
• Ransomware Warning Message: Warns the user that their cortex implant has been compromised and demands payment.
• Fake Encryption Process: Simulates the encryption of thousands of files.
• Countdown Timer: Displays a 24-hour countdown timer to increase urgency.
• Humorous Twist: Concludes by revealing it was a joke, ensuring no files are actually encrypted.

Usage of This Shell Script

This repository specifically provides the shell script version for those who wish to run it directly on a macOS terminal.

Running as a Standalone Script

1. Save the Script: Save the Bash script as hacked.sh on your macOS machine.
2. Make Executable: Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where hacked.sh is located. Make the script executable:
