status: production
type: TTP
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.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count 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

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 2.0 of the offical
Sysmon TA. https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5709
