Summary
This pull request adds a defensive, source-bounded Attack Flow for BARADAI ransomware based on variant-specific public reporting.
The flow models the earliest publicly reported post-compromise behaviors through the final encryption impact. Public sources do not currently confirm BARADAI's initial-access vector or provide a complete public binary-level reverse-engineering analysis, so the flow does not speculate beyond the available evidence.
Included behaviors
The flow documents:
cmd.exe,CurrentVersion\Runregistry keys,HKCU\SOFTWARE,taskkillornet stop,.BARADAIextension and ransom-note delivery.Sources

Evidence boundary
The flow intentionally excludes sibling-variant behaviors unless they are independently reported for BARADAI.
Actions derived from CYFIRMA reporting are marked
Probablebecause a complete public BARADAI binary-level reverse-engineering analysis is not currently available.The final encryption impact is marked
Very Probablebecause the.BARADAIextension and ransom-note behavior are directly documented in public BARADAI reporting.Feedback requested
This is submitted as a draft pull request. Maintainer feedback on the modeled post-compromise sequence, evidence boundaries, and any preferred corpus adjustments would be appreciated.
