new: Potential Persistence Via AppCompat RegisterAppRestart Layer
update: Uncommon Extension Shim Database Installation Via Sdbinst.EXE - Add additional commandline flag that might trigger FPs
update: Hypervisor Enforced Code Integrity Disabled - Add additional path for the HVCI config
update: Creation Of Non-Existent System DLL - Remove driver anchor and the System32 filter. The reason behind this is that an attacker can copy the file elsewhere and then use a system utility such as copy or xcopy located in the system32 folder to create it again. Which will bypass the rule.
update: Potential System DLL Sideloading From Non System Locations - Remove the driver anchor from the filter to catch cases where the system is installed on non default C: driver
update: Potential DLL Sideloading Of Non-Existent DLLs From System Folders - Add SignatureStatus in the filter to exclude only valid signatures and decrease bypass.
remove: Svchost DLL Search Order Hijack - Deprecated in favor of the rule 6b98b92b-4f00-4f62-b4fe-4d1920215771. The reason is that for legit cases where the DLL is still present we can't filter out anything. We assume that the loading is done by a non valid/signed DLLs which will catch most cases. In cas the attacker had the option to sign the DLL with a valid signature he can bypass the rule.
