Detects modifications to specific registry keys related to NetNTLM authentication settings. These modifications can indicate an attempt to downgrade NetNTLM security, potentially enabling NetNTLM downgrade attacks. The rule specifically looks for changes to 'lmcompatibilitylevel', 'NtlmMinClientSec', and 'RestrictSendingNTLMTraffic' within the LSA registry path to less secure values.

Detects the creation or modification of registry keys associated with Windows Assistive Technology applications, specifically focusing on changes to the 'ATs' and 'Configuration' keys under 'Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Accessibility'. This activity can be indicative of persistence or privilege escalation attempts by adversaries abusing accessibility features like 'atbroker.exe'. The rule includes filters to reduce false positives from legitimate 'atbroker.exe' activity or MSI installers.

Detects modifications to specific autostart extensibility points (ASEPs) within the Windows Registry's Session Manager key. These modifications can be used by adversaries to establish persistence or elevate privileges by ensuring malicious code is executed during system boot or user logon. The rule specifically targets changes to 'SetupExecute', 'S0InitialCommand', 'KnownDlls', 'Execute', 'BootExecute', and 'AppCertDlls' values under the 'System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager' path.

This rule detects modifications to the Windows Registry keys associated with Application Shimming. Adversaries may use application shims to establish persistence and/or elevate privileges by executing malicious content. The rule specifically looks for changes within the 'InstalledSDB' and 'Custom' AppCompatFlags registry paths, which are used to store information about installed shim databases.

This rule detects modifications to the Windows Registry key `HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\WDigest\UseLogonCredential` where its value is set to `0x00000001`. This modification enables the WDigest protocol to store clear-text credentials in memory, making them vulnerable to credential dumping attacks. Adversaries often enable this setting to facilitate the extraction of user credentials from the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process.

This rule detects potential DLL sideloading attempts using the 'coregen.exe' (Microsoft CoreCLR Native Image Generator) binary. It specifically looks for instances where 'coregen.exe' loads DLLs from locations other than the legitimate Microsoft Silverlight or Windows system directories (System32, SysWOW64). This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to execute malicious code by tricking a legitimate, signed Microsoft binary into loading their arbitrary DLL.
