+- name: Masquerading cmd.exe as VEDetector.exe
+  description: |
+    This test simulates an adversary renaming cmd.exe to VEDetector.exe to masquerade as a legitimate application.
+    The test copies cmd.exe, renames it to VEDetector.exe, adds a registry run key for persistence, and executes the renamed binary.
+    This technique may be used to evade detection by mimicking legitimate software names or locations.
+
+    **Expected Output:**
+    - A new process named VEDetector.exe appears in the process list, but its behavior matches cmd.exe.
+    - SIEM/EDR systems may detect this as suspicious process activity (e.g., Sysmon Event ID 1 for process creation, or Event ID 13 for registry modifications).
+    - Registry modification in HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run may trigger persistence alerts in XDR platforms.
