Detects attempts to disable security event logging by adding the `MiniNt` registry key.
This key is used to disable the Windows Event Log service, which collects and stores event logs from the operating system and applications.
Adversaries may want to disable this service to prevent logging of security events that could be used to detect their activities.

Detects attempts to disable Windows EventLog autologger sessions via registry modification.
The AutoLogger event tracing session records events that occur early in the operating system boot process.
Applications and device drivers can use the AutoLogger session to capture traces before the user logs in.
Adversaries may disable these sessions to evade detection and prevent security monitoring of early boot activities and system events.

Detects actions that disable Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) in Linux, including:
- Use of the `personality` syscall with the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag (0x0040000)
- Modification of the /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space file
- Execution of the `sysctl` command to set `kernel.randomize_va_space=0`
Disabling ASLR is often used by attackers during exploit development or to bypass memory protection mechanisms.
A successful use of these methods can reduce the effectiveness of ASLR and make memory corruption attacks more reliable.

Detects potential abuse of WerFaultSecure.exe to dump Protected Process Light (PPL) processes like LSASS or to freeze security solutions (EDR/antivirus).
This technique is used by tools such as EDR-Freeze and WSASS to bypass PPL protections and access sensitive information or disable security software.
Distinct command line patterns help identify the specific tool:
- WSASS usage typically shows: "WSASS.exe WerFaultSecure.exe [PID]" in ParentCommandLine
- EDR-Freeze usage typically shows: "EDR-Freeze_[version].exe [PID] [timeout]" in ParentCommandLine
Legitimate debugging operations using WerFaultSecure are rare in production environments and should be investigated.

Detects changes to the HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity registry key and the "Enabled" value being set to 0 in order to disable the Hypervisor Enforced Code Integrity feature. This allows an attacker to load unsigned and untrusted code to be run in the kernel

Detects tampering with autologger trace sessions which is a technique used by attackers to disable logging.
The AutoLogger event tracing session records events up that occur early in the operating system boot process.
Applications and device drivers can use the AutoLogger session to capture traces before the user logs in, and also used by security solutions as telemetry source.
Adversaries may disable these sessions to evade detection and prevent security monitoring of early boot activities and system events.
