The Windows Credential Editor (WCE) is a tool used by attackers to manipulate and extract credentials from Windows systems. This detection rule focuses on registry activity in relation to the WCE by monitoring specific registry keys that may indicate the tool is in use. Specifically, it looks for any activity that contains the target object `Services\WCESERVICE\Start` within the Windows registry. As WCE has critical implications for credential access, detecting its use is essential for preventing unauthorized access to user credentials. It is important to monitor registry events for entries related to the WCE to identify potential attacks or misuse of the tool. This rule targets Windows environments as WCE is primarily utilized on this platform, and successful triggering of this detection indicates a strong potential for credential theft. Users employing this detection should be aware of potential false positives associated with legitimate software that may interact with the same registry keys.
