'This detection uses Windows security events to detect suspicious access attempts to the registry key values and sub-keys of Microsoft Entra ID Health service agents (e.g AD FS).
Information from AD Health service agents can be used to potentially abuse some of the features provided by those services in the cloud (e.g. Federation).
This detection requires an access control entry (ACE) on the system access control list (SACL) of the following securable object: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ADHealthAgent.
Make sure you set the SACL to propagate to its sub-keys. You can find more information in here https://github.com/OTRF/Set-AuditRule/blob/master/rules/registry/aad_connect_health_service_agent.yml

Assuming that you have a machine that is properly BitLocker'ed, then
the machine will need to be running to extract the SAM and SYSTEM
files.
This first query looks for any access to the HKLM that happens via a command
or script that is not executed by system.
The second query looks for usage of reg or regedit by anyone who is not system.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, RDP ransomware persists as Wadhrama.
The ransomware known as Wadhrama has been used in human-operated attacks that follow a particular pattern. The attackers often use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to gain initial access to a device or network, exfiltrate credentials, and maintain persistance.
The following query checks for possible Wadhrama-related activity, by detecting the technique these attackers have used in the past to dump credentials.
Other techniques used by the group associated with Wadhrama are listed under See also.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Qakbot blight lingers, seeds ransomware
Qakbot is malware that steals login credentials from banking and financial services. It has been deployed against small businesses as well as major corporations. Some outbreaks have involved targeted ransomware campaigns that use a similar set of techniques. Links to related queries are listed under See also.
The following query detects registry entries that may indicate that an operator is trying to establish persistence for the Qakbot binary.

'This detection looks for the steps required to conduct a UAC bypass using Fodhelper.exe. By default this detection looks for the setting of the required registry keys and the invoking of the process within 1 hour - this can be tweaked as required.'
Detects changes to the default RDP port. Remote desktop is a common feature in operating systems. It allows a user to log into a remote system using an interactive session with a graphical user interface. Microsoft refers to its implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) as Remote Desktop Services (RDS).
