User Shell Folders Registry Modification via CommandLine

Detects modifications to User Shell Folders registry values via reg.exe or PowerShell, which could indicate persistence attempts. Attackers may modify User Shell Folders registry values to point to malicious executables or scripts that will be executed during startup. This technique is often used to maintain persistence on a compromised system by ensuring that malicious payloads are executed automatically.

Registry Modification Attempt Via VBScript

Detects attempts to modify the registry using VBScript's CreateObject("Wscript.shell") and RegWrite methods via common LOLBINs. It could be an attempt to modify the registry for persistence without using straightforward methods like regedit.exe, reg.exe, or PowerShell. Threat Actors may use this technique to evade detection by security solutions that monitor for direct registry modifications through traditional tools.
