Detects attempts to modify the registry using VBScript's CreateObject("Wscript.shell") and RegWrite methods embedded within PowerShell scripts or commands.
Threat actors commonly embed VBScript code within PowerShell to perform registry modifications, attempting to evade detection that monitors for direct registry access through traditional tools.
This technique can be used for persistence, defense evasion, and privilege escalation by modifying registry keys without using regedit.exe, reg.exe, or PowerShell's native registry cmdlets.

Detects the use of PowerShell to execute the 'Set-MpPreference' cmdlet to configure Windows Defender's threat severity default action to 'Allow' (value '6') or 'NoAction' (value '9').
This is a highly suspicious configuration change that effectively disables Defender's ability to automatically mitigate threats of a certain severity level.
An attacker might use this technique via the command line to bypass defenses before executing payloads.

Adversaries may leverage the COR_PROFILER environment variable to hijack the execution flow of programs that load the .NET CLR.
The COR_PROFILER is a .NET Framework feature which allows developers to specify an unmanaged (or external of .NET) profiling DLL to be loaded into each .NET process that loads the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
These profiliers are designed to monitor, troubleshoot, and debug managed code executed by the .NET CLR.

Detects the creation of a dMSA service account using the New-ADServiceAccount cmdlet in certain OUs.
The fact that the cmdlet is used to create a dMSASvc account in a specific OU is highly suspicious.
It is a pattern trying to exploit the BadSuccessor privilege escalation vulnerability in Windows Server 2025.
On top of that, if the user that is creating the dMSASvc account is not a legitimate administrator or does not have the necessary permissions,
it is a strong signal of an attempted or successful abuse of the BaDSuccessor vulnerability for privilege escalation within the Windows Server 2025 Active Directory environment.
