Detects modifications to registry keys associated with the 'ms-settings' COM object, specifically targeting the shell open command or DelegateExecute value. This technique, commonly referred to as 'ms-settings' hijacking, is used by adversaries to achieve persistence or elevated execution by redirecting legitimate COM object references to malicious payloads.

Detects the addition of a file path exclusion to Windows Defender via the command-line registry utility (reg.exe), followed immediately by the execution of gpupdate to force a policy refresh. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to exclude malicious directories from security scanning and ensure the configuration change takes immediate effect.

Detects the creation or modification of registry run keys under HKCU or HKEY_USERS that use the value 'WindowsDefender' to point to an executable located within the AppData directory. This is a common technique used by malware to establish persistence while masquerading as a legitimate security component.

This rule detects the creation or modification of Windows Registry Run keys, which are a common technique used for achieving persistence. The rule specifically monitors for known suspicious or potentially malicious file names (e.g., RuntimeSSH.exe, MicDriver.exe, winappx.exe, MsCache.exe, smqdservice.exe) being added to Run locations, which triggers automatic execution upon user logon.

Detects instances where PowerShell is executed by a process masquerading as a common application (e.g., Telegram, WhatsApp, KeePass) to write a registry run key for persistence. This behavior is indicative of malicious installers or secondary stage delivery.

This rule detects persistence mechanisms involving the 'JartePortable' application by monitoring Registry Run keys. It flags when a Registry key is created or modified to include a startup entry for 'Jarte.exe' located in 'C:\Users\Public\JartePortable\'. The detection specifically looks for a suspicious registry value data pattern.

This rule detects the creation or modification of registry keys within the RunOnce path in both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. These keys are commonly abused by adversaries to achieve persistence, as programs referenced in them execute automatically upon the next user logon or system start.

Detects modifications to the Windows Registry subkeys associated with the 'ms-settings' URI scheme, which are targeted by the 'fodhelper.exe' UAC bypass technique. The rule correlates registry operations in HKCU with the execution of fodhelper.exe to identify attempts to elevate privileges without triggering a UAC prompt.

This rule detects persistence mechanisms involving the creation or modification of a specific Windows Registry Run key ('ComponentTask33Agent') within the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive, or the execution of PowerShell commands targeting this specific registry value. This is indicative of malware, such as the ChainScript Node.js RAT, attempting to maintain access across user reboots by abusing standard Windows autostart configuration points.

This rule correlates a suspicious process execution (identified by specific command-line indicators), with subsequent persistence modification in Windows Registry Run/RunOnce keys, and a subsequent external network connection (excluding internal IP ranges). The activity is captured within a 15-minute window, suggesting a multi-stage attack pattern involving execution, establishing persistence, and initiating C2 communication.

Detects the modification of InProcServer32 registry keys within the user's Classes/CLSID hive to point to a file located in the AppData directory. This pattern is commonly used for COM hijacking to achieve persistence or execute arbitrary code under the user's context.

Detects modifications to the 'InProcServer32' registry key within HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID. This activity, which involves pointing a CLSID to a library file located in non-standard user-writable directories (like AppData), is a common technique for COM object hijacking used to achieve persistence or code execution.

Detects instances where a process named firefox.exe attempts to modify or create a registry run key, which is a common persistence technique, but the process file path does not correspond to the legitimate Mozilla Firefox installation directory. This behavior often indicates that an attacker is masquerading as a legitimate browser process to establish persistence.

Detects HEAVYGRAM/CRUDEEXCLUDE persistence via Run-key registry writes or reg.exe command-line adds, scoped to payloads staged in AppData/ProgramData/Temp/Public/Downloads and excluding legitimate Program Files/System32 targets to reduce false positives from normal software autorun entries.

Detects the addition of a 'DailyFitnessTracker' registry entry into the 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run' key. This is a common persistence technique where programs are configured to execute automatically upon user login, utilizing either 'reg.exe' or PowerShell 'New-ItemProperty' to modify the registry.

Detects malicious activity associated with the ClickFix/Vidar campaign, where adversaries create persistence using the Windows Run registry key while masquerading as the legitimate 'VoidTools Everything.exe' utility. The rule correlates registry modifications with the creation or execution of a file path mimicking the legitimate software in suspicious locations.
