The following analytic detects suspicious registry modifications that disable the shutdown button on a user's logon screen.
It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, specifically monitoring changes to registry paths associated with shutdown policies.
This activity is significant because it is a tactic used by malware, particularly ransomware like KillDisk, to hinder system usability and prevent the removal of malicious changes.
If confirmed malicious, this could impede system recovery efforts, making it difficult to restart the machine and remove other harmful modifications.

The following analytic detects modifications to the Windows registry key "AuthenticationLevelOverride" within the Terminal Server Client settings. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel to identify changes where the registry value is set to 0x00000000. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to override authentication levels for remote connections, a tactic used by DarkGate malware for malicious installations. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to gain unauthorized remote access, potentially leading to data exfiltration or further system compromise.
The following analytic detects modifications to the Windows registry that disable toast notifications. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel, specifically monitoring changes to the registry path "*\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\PushNotifications\\ToastEnabled*" with a value set to "0x00000000". This activity is significant because disabling toast notifications can prevent users from receiving critical system and application updates, which adversaries like Azorult exploit for defense evasion. If confirmed malicious, this action could allow attackers to operate undetected, leading to prolonged persistence and potential further compromise of the system.
Detects modifications to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) InstallLocation registry key.
Attackers can modify this registry key to redirect the execution flow of legitimate WSL processes (wsl.exe or bash.exe) to a malicious payload, acting as a proxy execution and defense evasion technique.

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious modifications to Windows Defender exclusion registry keys. It monitors for registry key/value creation or set operations within Defender's exclusion paths for files or extensions. The rule evaluates the process responsible for the modification (e.g., expecting MsMpEng.exe for native keys or specific svchost.exe/gpsvc parameters for GPO keys) and flags modifications made by unauthorized processes or those involving suspicious, broad, or high-risk paths like C:\, C:\Temp, or User Public folders.
The following analytic identifies when a Windows Defender ASR rule disabled events. ASR is a feature of Windows Defender Exploit Guard that prevents actions and apps that are typically used by exploit-seeking malware to infect machines. ASR rules are applied to processes and applications. When a process or application attempts to perform an action that is blocked by an ASR rule, an event is generated. This detection searches for ASR rule disabled events that are generated when an ASR rule is disabled.
Detects the installation sequence of the CosmicPulse (YESROBOT) backdoor, characterized by a registry value write under HKCU\Software\Classes\.mollis followed by the execution of a Python 3.8 bootstrapper from a non-standard, suspicious directory such as AppData, ProgramData, or Temp.
Detects the installation sequence of the CosmicPulse (YESROBOT) backdoor, characterized by a registry value write under HKCU\Software\Classes\.mollis followed by the execution of a Python 3.8 bootstrapper from a non-standard, suspicious directory such as AppData, ProgramData, or Temp.
Detects the modification of the 'DisableRestrictedAdmin' registry key via 'reg.exe'. This registry setting, when disabled (set to 0), allows the use of 'Restricted Admin' mode for Remote Desktop connections, which can be leveraged to bypass certain credential protections or enable lateral movement using high-privilege credentials.

The following analytic detects modifications to Windows Defender Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) registry settings. It leverages Windows Defender Operational logs, specifically EventCode 5007, to identify changes in ASR rules. This activity is significant because ASR rules are designed to block actions commonly used by malware to exploit systems. Unauthorized modifications to these settings could indicate an attempt to weaken system defenses. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to bypass security measures, leading to potential system compromise and data breaches.
Detects the use of reg.exe or PowerShell to modify the WSL InstallLocation registry key via command-line arguments.
Legitimate modifications to this key are performed exclusively by the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) during WSL package installation or update.
Manual use of reg.exe or PowerShell to set this value strongly indicates an attempt to redirect WSL execution to a malicious binary.

Detects the 'ClickFix' technique where a user copies a malicious payload and pastes it into the Windows Run dialog (Win+R). The rule monitors for the creation of registry values under the RunMRU key followed closely by the execution of powershell.exe or cmd.exe initiated directly by explorer.exe, indicating an bypass of standard browser execution chains.
Detects the installation sequence of the CosmicPulse (YESROBOT) backdoor, characterized by a registry value write under HKCU\Software\Classes\.mollis followed by the execution of a Python 3.8 bootstrapper from a non-standard, suspicious directory such as AppData, ProgramData, or Temp.

Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows Defender security controls within a short time window. This includes PowerShell commands to modify Defender preferences (e.g., disabling Real-time Monitoring or adding exclusions), modifications to Defender-related registry keys, and attempts to stop or disable the WinDefend service.
Detects unauthorized access to Windows camera or microphone consent store registry keys by either a suspected Kothamine agent masquerading as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.exe' or an injected 'explorer.exe'. The rule correlates these registry access events with the presence of specific Kothamine-related file artifacts (MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll and tailcat.exe) on the same host within a 24-hour window to minimize noise.

Detects the modification or creation of the registry key '.mollis' within Software\Classes, which is used by the Star Blizzard (RedFlick) CPL downloader to store an encrypted AES key. This activity is performed by common Windows processes such as control.exe, rundll32.exe, or regsvr32.exe.

Detects the use of the bcdedit.exe utility to configure the Windows boot configuration to enter Safe Mode (minimal or with networking), immediately followed by the execution of a shutdown command with the reboot flag. This sequence is a known technique utilized by Akira ransomware affiliates to force a system reboot into a restricted environment where security agents and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools may fail to load, allowing for undetected encryption.
