name: Disable Registry Tool

datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: This search identifies modification of registry to disable the regedit
or registry tools of the windows operating system. Since registry tool is a swiss
knife in analyzing registry, malware such as RAT or trojan Spy disable this application
to prevent the removal of their registry entry such as persistence, file less components
and defense evasion.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Registry where Registry.registry_path= "*\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System\\DisableRegistryTools"
Registry.registry_value_name = "DWORD (0x00000001)" by Registry.registry_path Registry.registry_key_name
Registry.registry_value_name Registry.dest | `drop_dm_object_name(Registry)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
|`security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `disable_registry_tool_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Registry` node. Also make sure
that this registry was included in your config files ex. sysmon config to be monitored.
known_false_positives: admin may disable this application for non technical user.
