description: This analytic is to look for suspicious modification or creation of registry
to have service entry. This technique is abused by adversaries or threat actor to
persist, gain privileges in the machine or even lateral movement. This technique
can be executed using reg.exe application or using windows API like for example
the CrashOveride malware. This detection is a good indicator that a process is trying
to create a service entry using registry ImagePath.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 13
search:
selection1:
Registry.registry_value_name: ImagePath
TargetObject: '*\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services*'
condition: selection1
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: Third party tools may used this technique to create services
but not so common.
