Abstract(in English) Malware are one of the biggest threats on the Internet as they can illegally browse, manipulate or delete user's personal data. Ransomware is a very profitable type of attacks for cyber criminals where victims data are encrypted until they accept to pay a certain amount of money to 'release' their data. Analysis of some malware show that, by monitoring the process which handles data read of the files that are targeted for encryption, they can be reversed to extract informations such as encryption keys, the data located on the physical memory or the description of encryption algorithms. In this paper, we used QEMU to analyze the data flow in runtime encryption process from whole-system approaches. We tried to estimate the entry points of the encryption algorithms by tracking the instructions that handle tainted data read from arbitrary files.
