Detects when the 'windir' environment variable is modified from its default value. This modification is often a precursor to a User Account Control (UAC) bypass technique leveraging the 'SilentCleanup' scheduled task, which is an auto-elevated task that can execute with administrator privileges without prompting the user.

This rule detects modifications to the Internet Explorer ZoneMap Domains registry key, which can be used to add domains to specific security zones (e.g., Trusted Sites). Adversaries might modify these settings to lower security restrictions for malicious websites or to bypass security prompts.

Detects when an attacker adds a new "DLLPathOverride" value to the "Natural Language" key in the Windows Registry to achieve persistence. This persistence mechanism leverages the "SearchIndexer.exe" process to invoke the malicious DLL.

Detects the installation of 'NalDrv' or 'PROCEXP152' services by monitoring registry key modifications. These services are associated with the 'Ghost-In-The-Logs' tool, which leverages KDU for defense evasion. The rule specifically looks for the creation of these service ImagePath registry values in non-system32 folders, filtering out legitimate instances of tools like procexp and procmon.

Detects a specific UAC bypass technique (UACMe 52) that abuses a path parsing vulnerability in `winsat.exe`. This bypass involves modifying registry keys related to `winsat.exe` to point to a malicious executable located in a temporary directory, allowing for privilege escalation without a UAC prompt.

Detects when an attacker registers a new AMSI provider in the Windows Registry to establish persistence. This technique involves creating or modifying registry keys under `SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AMSI\Providers\` or `SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\AMSI\Providers\` to load a malicious DLL when AMSI is initialized. The rule filters out legitimate system processes that might perform similar actions from standard Windows and Program Files directories.

This rule detects attempts to tamper with Windows Attachment Manager settings by modifying specific registry values. These modifications can disable security features related to file attachments, such as hiding zone information, preventing the saving of zone information, or disabling antivirus scanning for downloaded files. Such actions are often performed by adversaries to evade detection and facilitate the execution of malicious files.
