Description

This analytic identifies the modification of the Windows RemoteAccess Registry Entry. This technique can be used by malware, adversaries, threat actors and red teamers to gain persistence on a system by tampering with the key to add a custom DLL to be loaded. This technique was also observed to be used by Gh0st RAT malware. Upon seeing this behavior, it is recommended to review the system services events especially the remote access services.
