description: The following analytic identifies modification in the Windows registry
to prevent user running specific computer programs that could aid them in manually
removing malware or detecting it using security products. This technique was recently
identified in Azorult malware where it uses this registry value to prevent several
AV products to execute on the compromised host machine.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 13
search:
selection1:
Details: '0x00000001'
TargetObject: '*\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer\\DisallowRun*'
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: Administrators may enable or disable this feature that may
cause some false positive. Filter as needed.
