datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: This particular behavior is typically executed when an adversaries or
malware gains access to an endpoint and beings to perform execution and to evade
detections. Usually, a batch (.bat) will be executed and multiple registry and scheduled
task modifications will occur. During triage, review parallel processes and identify
any further file modifications. Endpoint should be isolated.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Registry where Registry.registry_path = "*\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\*"
AND (Registry.registry_path IN("*WdBoot*", "*WdFilter*", "*WdNisDrv*", "*WdNisSvc*",
"*WinDefend*", "*SecurityHealthService*")) AND Registry.registry_value_name = Start
Registry.registry_value_data = 0x00000004 by Registry.dest Registry.user Registry.registry_path
Registry.registry_value_name Registry.registry_value_data | `drop_dm_object_name(Registry)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `disabling_defender_services_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the
Sysmon TA.
