description: This search identifies modification of registry to disable the regedit
or registry tools of the windows operating system. Since registry tool is a swiss
knife in analyzing registry, malware such as RAT or trojan Spy disable this application
to prevent the removal of their registry entry such as persistence, file less components
and defense evasion.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Registry
WHERE (Registry.registry_path= "*\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System\\DisableRegistryTools"
Registry.registry_value_data = "0x00000001") BY _time span=1h Registry.user Registry.dest Registry.registry_path

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the registry value name, registry path, and registry value data from your
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 2.0 of the offical
Sysmon TA. https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5709
known_false_positives: admin may disable this application for non technical user.
