The entry documents the Chaos v4.0 ransomware builder, an update to the Chaos series that increases encryptable file size to 2 MB, adds customizable target file lists, includes ransom note and desktop wallpaper capabilities, and tweaks random data generation; the page clarifies it describes the builder itself (not encryptors created from it) and notes a decryptor exists for Chaos v3.0 via Yashma.
