|
description: This analytic is developed to detect possible event trigger execution
|
|
through screensaver registry entry modification for persistence or privilege escalation.
|
|
This technique was seen in several APT and malware where they put the malicious
|
|
payload path to the SCRNSAVE.EXE registry key to redirect the execution to their
|
|
malicious payload path. This TTP is a good indicator that some attacker may modify
|
|
this entry for their persistence and privilege escalation.

TargetObject: '*\\Control Panel\\Desktop\\SCRNSAVE.EXE*'

|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you must be ingesting data
|
|
that records registry activity from your hosts to populate the endpoint data model
|
|
in the registry node. This is typically populated via endpoint detection-and-response
|
|
product, such as Carbon Black or endpoint data sources, such as Sysmon. The data
|
|
used for this search is typically generated via logs that report reads and writes
|
|
to the registry.
