description: The following analytic identifies a process execution of reg.exe with
|
|
"restore" parameter. This reg.exe parameter is commonly used to restore registry
|
|
backup data in a targeted host. This approach or technique was also seen in post-exploitation
|
|
tool like winpeas where it uses "reg save" and "reg restore" to check the registry
|
|
modification restriction in targeted host after gaining access to it.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon Event ID 1
|
|
search:
|
|
selection1:
|
|
OriginalFileName: reg.exe
|
|
selection2:
|
|
Image|endswith: reg.exe
|
|
selection3:
|
|
CommandLine: '* restore *'
|
|
condition: (selection1 or selection2) and selection3
|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
|
|
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
|
|
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the
|
|
Sysmon TA. Tune and filter known instances of wermgr.exe may be used.
|
|
known_false_positives: network administrator can use this command tool to backup registry
|
|
before updates or modifying critical registries.
