This rule detects suspicious access to the camera and microphone by processes running from unusual or temporary locations. It monitors registry events related to the CapabilityAccessManager ConsentStore for non-packaged applications. Specifically, it looks for modifications to registry keys that indicate access to 'microphone' or 'webcam' from paths like temporary folders, the Recycle Bin, or public user directories. This behavior can be indicative of malware attempting to record audio or video without user consent.

This rule detects when 'regedit.exe' is used to export a registry key to an Alternate Data Stream (ADS). This technique can be used by adversaries to hide data, such as exported registry keys, within existing files to evade detection. The rule specifically looks for the execution of 'regedit.exe' which is a legitimate Windows utility, making the detection focused on its suspicious usage in conjunction with ADS.

This rule detects attempts by processes to access the microphone and webcam by monitoring specific registry key access events. It looks for EventIDs 4657, 4656, or 4663 associated with registry paths related to the Windows Capability Access Manager's consent store for microphone and webcam access by non-packaged applications. This can indicate an adversary attempting to collect audio or video from the endpoint.

This rule detects the creation or modification of a specific registry key associated with Windows Credential Editor (WCE). WCE is a tool used to dump credentials from memory, specifically targeting the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). The rule looks for the string 'Services\WCESERVICE\Start' within the 'TargetObject' field of registry events, indicating the installation or activation of WCE as a service.

This rule detects the creation of scheduled tasks by monitoring specific registry key paths associated with the Windows Task Scheduler. Adversaries often use scheduled tasks for persistence, privilege escalation, or execution of malicious code. By observing modifications to these registry paths, the rule aims to identify when new scheduled tasks are being registered on a system.

This rule detects PowerShell scripts that perform potential registry reconnaissance. Specifically, it looks for the use of PowerShell cmdlets like 'Get-Item', 'gci', or 'Get-ChildItem' in conjunction with specific registry paths known to contain system configuration, service information, or autostart entries. Adversaries often query these registry keys to gather information about the system's credentials, configuration, and installed software, which can aid in further compromise or privilege escalation.

This rule detects attempts to access specific registry keys associated with the Windows Local Security Authority (LSA) to calculate the SysKey. SysKey is a critical encryption key used to protect sensitive system information, including password hashes. Adversaries may attempt to extract the SysKey to decrypt credentials or other sensitive data stored in the LSA, often as part of credential dumping activities. The rule specifically looks for Security Event IDs 4656 (A handle to an object was requested) or 4663 (An attempt was made to access an object) where the ObjectType is 'key' and the ObjectName ends with 'lsa\JD', 'lsa\GBG', 'lsa\Skew1', or 'lsa\Data'. These registry paths are known locations where SysKey components are stored.

This rule detects suspicious access attempts to the registry key associated with the Azure AD Health monitoring agent. It specifically looks for Event IDs 4656 (handle to an object was requested) or 4663 (an attempt was made to access an object) on the registry key '\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Online\Reporting\MonitoringAgent'. The rule filters out access attempts made by legitimate Azure AD Health monitoring agent processes to reduce false positives. This detection requires specific SACL auditing to be configured on the registry key.

Detects "read access" requests on the services registry key. Adversaries may execute their own malicious payloads by hijacking the Registry entries used by services. Adversaries may use flaws in the permissions for Registry keys related to services to redirect from the originally specified executable to one that they control, in order to launch their own code when a service starts.

This detection identifies suspicious access attempts to registry keys and sub-keys associated with Azure AD Health service agents, such as AD FS. Gaining access to this information could enable an adversary to abuse features provided by these cloud services, particularly federation. The rule requires specific System Access Control List (SACL) auditing to be configured on 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ADHealthAgent' with propagation to sub-keys.

Detects events from the Kernel-General ETW indicating that the access bits of a hive with a system like hive name (SAM or SECURITY) located in the temporary directory have been reset. This behavior can occur when an application attempts to access a hive that has not been recognized for a period (default 7 days). Registry hive dumping utilities such as QuarksPwDump have been observed to exhibit this behavior, which is often associated with credential dumping.

Detects the creation or modification of registry keys related to printer drivers that contain specific strings associated with Mimikatz or the PrinterNightmare vulnerability (CVE-2021-1675, CVE-2021-34527). The rule looks for 'QMS 810' or 'mimikatz' in printer driver paths, or a combination of 'legitprinter' and printer environment paths, or specific strings like 'Gentil Kiwi', 'mimikatz printer', or 'Kiwi Legit Printer' in registry objects related to printing.

Detects changes to the Windows Registry that configure a monitor program to dump the memory of the lsass.exe process using the SilentProcessExit technique. This method leverages Image File Execution Options (IFEO) to trigger a memory dump of LSASS when it exits, which can be used to extract credentials.
