| Analytics BIOC | Image file execution options (IFEO) registry key set Attackers may use the Image File Execution Options Registry key to launch their executable whenever the user attempts to execute a certain executable. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Known service display name with uncommon image-path Service created with a known display name but has an uncommon image-path. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Known service name with an uncommon image-path A Service with a known service name has an uncommon image-path. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Microsoft Office adds a value to autostart Registry key Microsoft Office adds a value to a registry entry (run keys, startup folders) to establish persistence. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Office process accessed an unusual .LNK file An attacker may embed a .LNK file in an Office document to execute malicious code. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Execution, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Possible Persistence via group policy Registry keys Group Policy registry keys were read during system startup. This behavior may indicate a persistence mechanism that triggers on reboot to execute malicious code. | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Possible webshell file written by a web server process An uncommon file with a web file extension was created, written or renamed by a web server process. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Initial Access, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare scheduled task created A new rare scheduled task was created with a rare path and a rare command line. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare Scheduled Task RPC activity The endpoint performed abnormal Scheduled Task RPC activity to a remote host. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Lateral Movement, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare Scheduled Task RPC activity from a rarely seen host The endpoint performed abnormal Scheduled Task RPC activity to a remote host. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Lateral Movement, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare service DLL was added to the registry A service was added as a dll, which will be executed by svchost.exe. This is a stealthy technique attackers use to persist their malware. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | SecureBoot was disabled SecureBoot was disabled, this might be indicative of someone trying to install an alternate non-UEFI supported OS. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Setting Windows Auto Logon by uncommon process Setting Windows Auto Logon by uncommon process. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious active setup registered The endpoint registered a new active setup, which may be used to gain persistence on the host by loading libraries into the time management service. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious process modified RC script file A suspicious process modified an RC script file. These files allow system administrators to map and start custom services at startup for different run levels. This may be done to establish persistence. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious Udev driver rule execution manipulation Udev driver rule was modified with unusual pattern, might be used by adversaries to backdoor existing drivers. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
