Debugger Persistence For Vdsexe Via Ifeo To Windows Fonts Directory
This rule detects attempts to establish persistence for 'vds.exe' (Virtual Disk Service) by modifying the Image File Execution Options (IFEO) registry key to point its debugger to an executable located within the Windows Fonts directory. This technique is often used by adversaries to maintain access or elevate privileges, as the Fonts directory is typically writable by standard users and can be used to hide malicious executables.
