Hacktool - EDR-Freeze Execution

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.
