description: This analytic is to detect a suspicious registry modification to disable
security audit logs. This technique was shared by a researcher to disable Security
logs of windows by adding this registry. The Windows will think it is WinPE and
will not log any event to the Security Log
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime
max(_time) as lastTime FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Registry where Registry.registry_path="*\\Control\\MiniNt\\*"
by Registry.dest Registry.user Registry.registry_value_name Registry.registry_key_name
Registry.registry_path Registry.registry_value_data | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `disable_security_logs_using_minint_registry_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you must be ingesting data
that records registry activity from your hosts to populate the endpoint data model
in the registry node. This is typically populated via endpoint detection-and-response
product, such as Carbon Black or endpoint data sources, such as Sysmon. The data
used for this search is typically generated via logs that report reads and writes
to the registry.
