Summary
This detection rule focuses on identifying potentially malicious activities related to the unauthorized creation of binary files within the Windows system directory for print drivers located at `C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\`. The creation of files with extensions such as `.dll`, `.exe`, or `.sys` in this directory can be indicative of an attacker's attempts to install malicious payloads or establish persistence on the target system. The provided rule utilizes file event logs to trigger alerts when a file that begins with the specified path and ends with the defined extensions is created. Potential misuse of this directory has been highlighted in recent security reports, underscoring the importance of monitoring for suspicious activities in these system folders.
