This rule detects attempts to change the desktop wallpaper using PowerShell. It specifically looks for PowerShell script block text that either modifies the 'WallPaper' property within the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\' registry key or calls the 'SystemParametersInfo' function with specific parameters (20, 0, *, 3), which is a Windows API call used to set the desktop wallpaper. This activity is indicative of an adversary attempting to deface a system.

This rule detects modifications or additions to the 'TypedPaths' registry key, which is used by Windows Explorer to store recently typed paths in the Run dialog and File Explorer address bar. Adversaries can leverage this key for persistence by injecting malicious paths that get executed when a user interacts with these features. The rule specifically filters out modifications made by the legitimate 'explorer.exe' process to reduce false positives, focusing on non-standard applications attempting to modify this key.

This rule detects attempts to tamper with Windows Attachment Manager settings by modifying specific registry keys. Adversaries might do this to lower the default file type risk, allowing potentially malicious files (like executables, scripts, or archives) to bypass security warnings when downloaded or opened. The rule specifically looks for modifications to 'DefaultFileTypeRisk' to a value that indicates low risk (0x00006152) or additions of common executable/script file extensions to 'LowRiskFileTypes'.
