We pull the teeth out of WannaCry in a live demo
In our October 13, 2021 webinar with storage software pro Open-E, we’ll show how to render ransomware harmless.
Full supply even with WannaCry – thanks to JovianDSS from Open-E
Live demo: Infection and Cleanup from the WannaCry Ransomware
In spring 2017, an extortion Trojan horse sent the IT world into a frenzy: WannaCry spread across the globe in a widespread cyberattack. Over 200,000 computers were infected. The malware, based on the EternalBlue exploit, encrypted documents, images, videos and audio files with a 2048-bit RSA key via the SMBv1 protocol. The files left behind with the extension .WNCRY were then unreadable.
A ransom in the form of Bitcoins should be paid for decryption. Moreover, regardless of the financial damage, it was uncertain whether the data would actually be readable again after the payment. Added to this were the costs of interrupting ongoing operations and the damage to the company’s reputation, which should not be underestimated.
In short, a nightmare for anyone affected.
System respawn after infection in a live demo
Together with Open-E we show in a live demo the process of this IT-supergate, as well as how to effectively counter these malware with JovianDSS. To do this, we intentionally infect the demo systems with the WannaCry network worm and roll it back to its original state.

Benefits
On-site service or on-site installation can be booked - on request also within four hours (24 x 7 x 4).
We do not deliver solutions "off the shelf". All servers and storage systems designed by us are assembled by hand.
We know which components work together because we test the connectivity extensively in advance.
Our product managers and technicians are constantly searching for sophisticated server and storage products.
As a mid-size company, we react quickly to changes in the market. In addition, we are independent in terms of hardware and software.
We regularly review our work and internal processes and are eager to improve where things go wrong.
Questions and answers
We are proud of our large inventory and like to shine with it. So if you have an older system that you need a replacement part for, we can very likely supply it. We keep hardware on hand long after the warranty period has expired. This is because we also take care in our product selection to provide support for as long as possible.
For sure! This request is tailor-made for our Enterprise Storage Solutions department. Here, solutions are developed on a daily basis and tailored to specific requirements. Our experts will be happy to advise you. If necessary, in a three-way conference with your customer. If necessary, we can even organize a try&buy or a test setup to find out what the problem is. You are also always welcome to attend one of our workshops. Here, the systems are presented in detail and you can ask questions at any time.
Of course, we can also offer you each component separately. Among the ready-made systems, the offer starts with a 4-bay RAID system and a small server, also equipped with four drives.
Starline mainly sells to resellers. That is, system houses that install these systems at a customer’s site or resell them in turn.
Starline supplies everything your heart desires in the server and storage sector. If you wish, we can also create a concept for integrating the new system into your existing network and supervise the installation. A detailed documentation after completion of the work is also part of our services.
With Starline, you’re not on the literal hook once you’ve bought something. Starline is an independent medium-sized company that produces servers and storage systems in Germany. Our suppliers – from cables to screws to SSDs – have to undergo internal benchmarking by our technicians and are only included in the program when their performance is beyond doubt. We also rely on cross-manufacturer standards and not on isolated solutions. Moreover, all systems assembled by us are put through their paces before leaving our premises. And last but not least: We look after them whenever you want – for example, even before the purchase with free advice and also afterwards with free technical support.
