RansomWhere 2.2.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesRansomWhere is a free security tool from Objective See that takes a simple and clever approach to Mac ransomware. Ransomware has to create encrypted files, and it usually creates a lot of them very fast. RansomWhere analyses file entropy as files appear, spots that pattern, and stops an untrusted process before it can work through your folders. You get an alert naming the process, and you decide whether to let it continue.
Key Features
- Watches file creation in real time and flags rapid encryption by untrusted processes
- Uses entropy analysis to spot encrypted files without relying on known malware lists
- Stops a suspicious process early and shows a clear alert with its name and path
- Lets you allow a process you trust, so normal tools are not blocked again and again
- Runs quietly in the background using the Apple Endpoint Security framework

System Requirements

FAQs
Is RansomWhere free?
Yes. Objective See tools are free and open source, made by security researcher Patrick Wardle.
Will it block my backup or archive tools?
It can flag a tool that creates encrypted files quickly. The alert lets you allow that process, so trusted apps keep working.
Does it replace a full antivirus app?
No. It covers one behaviour very well, mass file encryption. Treat it as an extra layer.
