|
description: This particular behavior is typically executed when an adversary or
|
|
malware gains access to an endpoint and begins to perform execution and to evade
|
|
detections. Usually, a batch (.bat) file 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.

|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
|
|
logs with the registry value name, registry path, and registry value data from your
|
|
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the
|
|
Sysmon TA.
