Summary
This detection rule is designed to identify instances where the Windows operating system experiences a critical failure leading to a crash, captured through the generation of crash dump files. These incidents are indicated by "BugCheck" errors reported via the Windows Error Reporting (WER) framework, specifically logged as EventID 1001. Upon activation, the rule captures key details such as the bugcheck code, the path to the dump file, and the corresponding report ID, providing valuable insights for post-incident analysis and facilitating remediation efforts. This is critical in incident response scenarios where understanding system behavior prior to incidents can aid in preventing similar occurrences in the future. The detection occurs within the Windows operating system environment, primarily focusing on system-level operations, and is categorized under medium severity. The rule pulls data specifically from windows system logs, relying on the events generated by the WER service, making it essential for monitoring system stability and diagnosing potential vulnerabilities related to system crashes.
