Ransomware attacks have increasingly exploited the NT File System (NTFS) to encrypt critical data, leading to significant disruptions and financial losses across various sectors. The introduction of a pass-through mechanism offers a novel and effective approach to mitigating such threats through directly interfacing with NTFS to monitor and intercept unauthorized encryption attempts in real time. The proposed mechanism was evaluated in a controlled environment, demonstrating a high detection rate against various ransomware strains and minimal impact on system performance. Its capability to distinguish between legitimate and malicious encryption activities, combined with swift file recovery functionality, reinforced its potential as a robust solution for NTFS security. Despite some challenges related to false positives and system overhead, the mechanism's integration within NTFS showcases a promising advancement in enhancing file system resilience against ransomware. Future work may focus on adaptive learning algorithms to further improve detection accuracy and extending support to other file systems, broadening the scope of its application in cybersecurity.
