Suspicious Shell Open Command Registry Modification
Detects modifications to shell open registry keys that point to suspicious locations typically used by malware for persistence. Generally, modifications to the `*\shell\open\command` registry key can indicate an attempt to change the default action for opening files, and various UAC bypass or persistence techniques involve modifying these keys to execute malicious scripts or binaries.
UAC Bypass via Event Viewer
Detects UAC bypass method using Windows event viewer
UAC Bypass via Sdclt

UAC Disabled
Detects when an attacker tries to disable User Account Control (UAC) by setting the registry value "EnableLUA" to 0.
UAC Notification Disabled
Detects when an attacker tries to disable User Account Control (UAC) notification by tampering with the "UACDisableNotify" value. UAC is a critical security feature in Windows that prevents unauthorized changes to the operating system. It prompts the user for permission or an administrator password before allowing actions that could affect the system's operation or change settings that affect other users. When "UACDisableNotify" is set to 1, UAC prompts are suppressed.
UAC Secure Desktop Prompt Disabled
Detects when an attacker tries to change User Account Control (UAC) elevation request destination via the "PromptOnSecureDesktop" value. The "PromptOnSecureDesktop" setting specifically determines whether UAC prompts are displayed on the secure desktop. The secure desktop is a separate desktop environment that's isolated from other processes running on the system. It's designed to prevent malicious software from intercepting or tampering with UAC prompts. When "PromptOnSecureDesktop" is set to 0, UAC prompts are displayed on the user's current desktop instead of the secure desktop. This reduces the level of security because it potentially exposes the prompts to manipulation by malicious software.
