Detects attempts to add, modify, or delete Windows Credential Guard related registry keys or values via command line tools such as Reg.exe or PowerShell.
Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets so that only privileged system software can access them.
Adversaries may disable Credential Guard to gain access to sensitive credentials stored in the system, such as NTLM hashes and Kerberos tickets, which can be used for lateral movement and privilege escalation.
The rule matches suspicious command lines that target DeviceGuard or LSA registry paths and manipulate keys like EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity, RequirePlatformSecurityFeatures, or LsaCfgFlags.
Such activity may indicate an attempt to disable or tamper with Credential Guard, potentially exposing sensitive credentials for misuse.

Detects execution of EDR-Freeze, a tool that exploits the MiniDumpWriteDump function and WerFaultSecure.exe to suspend EDR and Antivirus processes on Windows.
EDR-Freeze leverages a race-condition attack to put security processes into a dormant state by suspending WerFaultSecure at the moment it freezes the target process.
This technique does not require kernel-level exploits or BYOVD, but instead abuses user-mode functionality to temporarily disable monitoring by EDR or Antimalware solutions.

Detects execution of Advanced Installer MSIX Package Support Framework (PSF) components, specifically AI_STUBS executables with original filename 'popupwrapper.exe'.
This activity may indicate malicious MSIX packages build with Advanced Installer leveraging the Package Support Framework to bypass application control restrictions.

Detects potential abuse of WerFaultSecure.exe to dump Protected Process Light (PPL) processes like LSASS or to freeze security solutions (EDR/antivirus).
This technique is used by tools such as EDR-Freeze and WSASS to bypass PPL protections and access sensitive information or disable security software.
Distinct command line patterns help identify the specific tool:
- WSASS usage typically shows: "WSASS.exe WerFaultSecure.exe [PID]" in ParentCommandLine
- EDR-Freeze usage typically shows: "EDR-Freeze_[version].exe [PID] [timeout]" in ParentCommandLine
Legitimate debugging operations using WerFaultSecure are rare in production environments and should be investigated.

Detects changes to the HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity registry key and the "Enabled" value being set to 0 in order to disable the Hypervisor Enforced Code Integrity feature. This allows an attacker to load unsigned and untrusted code to be run in the kernel
