[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1048157, member: 96560"] There is something to be said about malware. They mostly don't just appear without any interaction from us. The chances are that they came along with some program that we are installing are high. Thus there is merit to adopting the malware analyst way of working - record suspicious events and nose around what programs are doing in the background. If the logs don't reveal anything to note, just leave sysmon running in monitoring mode - antivirus programs do that. You might catch a zero day that your antivirus miss. Here is a sysmon rules file from an industry insider, Florian Roth, courtesy of bleepingcomputer.com. [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Neo23x0/sysmon-config/master/sysmonconfig-export.xml[/URL]. It monitors for a lot of suspicious things that should not happen and are known to be used by hackers and malware. It is sourced from many security analysts. It also contains notes that will show up in Event Viewer.(Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Sysmon > Operational) Note that this rules file ireplaces the one in the previous post, and does not drop executables files created. It is long but well worth the read as there are lots of explainations. [/QUOTE]
