status: production
type: TTP
description: this search is to detect a suspicious registry modification to implement
auto admin logon to a host. This technique was seen in BlackMatter ransomware to
automatically logon to the compromise host after triggering a safemode boot to
continue encrypting the whole network. This behavior is not a common practice and
really a suspicious TTP or alert need to be consider if found within then network
premise.
