description: This search is to identify registry modification to disable folder options
feature of windows to show hidden files, file extension and etc. This technique
used by malware in combination if disabling show hidden files feature to hide their
files and also to hide the file extension to lure the user base on file icons or
fake file extensions.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Registry where Registry.registry_path= "*\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer\\NoFolderOptions"
Registry.registry_value_name = "DWORD (0x00000001)" by Registry.registry_path Registry.registry_key_name
Registry.registry_value_name Registry.dest | `drop_dm_object_name(Registry)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `disabling_folderoptions_windows_feature_filter`'
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: admin may disable this application for non technical user.
