description: The following analytic identifies a process that is attempting to disable
the ability on Windows to generate a memory crash dump. This was recently identified
being utilized by HermeticWiper. To disable crash dumps, the value must be set to
0. This feature is typically modified to perform a memory crash dump when a computer
stops unexpectedly because of a Stop error (also known as a blue screen, system
crash, or bug check).

Details: '0x00000000'
TargetObject: '*\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\CrashControl\\CrashDumpEnabled'
condition: selection1
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the Filesystem responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Filesystem` and `Registry`
node.
