#CryptoWatcher

An application that creates "honeypot" documents and watches them for changes. If the files are modified, then the LanmanServer service is stopped and no more corruption of shares can take place.

##Instructions

• Compile and copy exe to server you want to protect.
• Run program once to generate a sample XML file.
• Modify XML file to point to the local paths of your share(s). Multiple folder nodes are allowed.
• Create a scheduled task to run application at startup, make sure "start in" is set to same directory as exe is located. Also make sure the user you run the task as has rights to the local folders and can start/stop services.

The application inserts a reference Word doc in each listed folder and creates a FileSystemWatcher on each one. As soon as a modification of any type is detected, the application stops the LanmanServer service, which stops all file sharing on that server, and emails the specified address that this has happened.
