It includes the bare minimum to make sure the driver operates. Set up Sysmon on your system? The default configuration isn’t the best to monitor your system with. If you’re looking for a handy guide on how to set up Sysmon for Registry analysis, take a look at the official documentation by Microsoft. Lastly, this event ID is used to log all operations related to rename operations in the registry. This event includes all operations related to values being set in the registry. This is extremely handy if we wish to monitor creation of specific registry keys or modifications which are usually performed by threat actors to compromise the system. This includes all objects (keys, values, etc.) which are created or deleted in the Registry. As such, Registry-based logs in Sysmon are divided into three event IDs: Now, like I said, these events are logged based on the exact action. Depending on the event, we might see more data in these logs but that’s for the next section!
TargetObject: This is the heart of the log - the actual object which was added or deleted. Process Information: It includes the ProcessId and Image of the process which launched this particular action on the system. RuleName: Sysmon events can be assigned rules which can further be used for event analysis using a SIEM, Event Viewer, or Gigasheet! We’ll get back to filtering logs based on rule names when we get down to analyzing these logs. What does it log specifically in those events? Here’s a quick breakdown of a sample log: It includes Registry-based events as well. Sysmon can be used to log almost all system activity to log files in Windows. These logs can be massive luckily Gigasheet has been built to handle datasets of massive size. It generates logs with several event IDs depending on the action performed in the registry. In this article, we’ll explore how Microsoft Sysmon, the Sysinternals-based logging utility, can be used for registry log analysis. It’s why this hierarchical database serves to be one of the most fruitful artifacts during forensic analysis. Be it services, applications, extensions, or all individual configurations, the registry holds it all. Windows Registry serves as the hub of all configurations on a typical Windows-based system.
