   33 ## 2. Finding RansomCare

   35 ### 2.1 The RansomCare Architecture
   36
 - 37 RansomCare is a two-component ransomware:
 + 37 RansomCare is a **user-mode ransomware** operating via process injection:
   38
 - 39 1. **User-mode dropper: `Agent.exe`** — downloaded to `C:\Users\user1\Downloads\Agent.exe`. Launched by
 explorer.exe (user double-click), it performs process injection into notepad.exe and exits within ~1 second.
 + 39 1. **Dropper: `Agent.exe`** — downloaded to `C:\Users\user1\Downloads\Agent.exe`. Launched by explorer.exe (user
 double-click), it performs process injection into notepad.exe and exits within ~1 second.
   40
 - 41 2. **Kernel minifilter driver: `filecrypt.sys`** — loaded at boot as a Windows service (`FileCrypt`,
 SERVICE_SYSTEM_START).It is a file-system minifilter that uses Windows CNG/BCrypt APIs (BCryptEncrypt, BCryptDecrypt,
 BCryptGenerateSymmetricKey, BCryptGenRandom) to encrypt files on the fly as they are accessed. Size: 0x14000 (80 KB).
 + 41 2. **Injected payload: notepad.exe** — the ransomware logic runs within the hollowed/injected notepad.exe
 process. It performs file encryption, network communication (UDP sockets), and drops the ransom note.
   42
 + 43 **Note:** `filecrypt.sys` (loaded as SERVICE_SYSTEM_START on both systems) is the **stock Microsoft Windows
 EFS/StorageSec minifilter** (`filecrypt.pdb`, `PicturesChamber`,
 `\Registry\Machine\Software\Microsoft\StorageSec\Encrypt`). It is NOT part of RansomCare. This was confirmed by peers
 s69d300 and s69d301 (board posts 152, 193).

 The swarm is finished: done/SWARM_DONE exists (All definition-of-done checks pass: report.md with 6 sections exists,
 timeline.md with 24 rows built, ledger has 88 events, inputs verified, sign-off posted. RansomCare (Tocrypt)
 identified and documented across both dumps.). Call done now and stop.


 The swarm is done — done/SWARM_DONE exists. I need to call done(reason, output_file) and stop.
