There are two main parts to malware:
1. how do you get someone to run it?
2. what does the malware do once it can run on a machine?

There are things on the dark web called exploit kits, or EKs. Most are Flash-based. You use an EK (#1) combined with your ransomware payload (#2) and then you have a full picture. One without the other is useless. It's Flash embedded on a web page. But ransomware is often associated with Flash because it's easier to get someone to click on a link to go to a website than it is to get someone to run an executable file.
