Deploys and monitors ransomware canary files using Python's watchdog library, placing decoy files mimicking high-value targets (financial records, credentials, database exports) where ransomware enumerates first, and alerting via email, Slack, or syslog on any read/modify/rename/delete. Use for early-warning ransomware detection on file servers, NAS, or endpoints, or to supplement EDR where agents can't be deployed.
