Abstract: Linux is a free OS which uses the Linux kernel. Linux safety makes its users rarely use antivirus to prevent the threat. Linux runs on virtually every platform from mobile devices to supercomputers. As a result, attackers target the Linux infrastructure to launch ransomware attack so that they can recover greater ransom for data recovery. Ransomware is a type of malware designed to block access to a computer system until a payment is made. In this study, the security of the Linux operating system, which employs Wine as a compatibility layer, will be assessed. Then to find out if ransomware has a higher impact than malware samples in previous studies or not. From the 30 ransomware samples that can run on the Linux OS, the final results obtained show that 50% affect the file system,80% affect the registry, 50% affect the service, 60% affect the Process and 70% affect the Network. While overall there are 30% of samples that affect the five existing parameters. The findings demonstrate that ransomware has relatively high implications for existing parameters.
