## A Rewrite Of The Abysmal VXGAMBLEGROUND Ransomware

VXGAMBLEGROUND, aka vxgg, is a bit of fun ransomware I wrote a while back. The joke, inspired by telegram degens, was that the unfortunate victim of this ransomware would have to gamble bitcoin at a slot machine to get their files back. A combination of the joke losing its humor and curses being annoying led me to a state of begruding. I got to a point where I really couldn't care less about the quality of my work and just wanted to get it done, so I pushed through and created a heaping pile of spaghetti code. The final product did techincally work, but it was held together by duct-tape and dreams; one of the ways to crash the program was by resizing the terminal window

Looking back on it, I'm glad I stuck through. It was probably my first "big" C project that I actually bothered to finish, even if its finished state was hot garbage. After some more time, I've decided that I want to rewrite it, to improve on all the random shit I did and make something I could be marginally more proud of. No more corrupting files, no more silly crashes
