This detection rule targets changes to the 'DisableHypervisorEnforcedPagingTranslation' registry key within Windows systems. Set to '1', this registry value disables the Hypervisor Enforced Paging Translation (HEPT), a critical security feature designed to mitigate certain types of kernel exploitation. When HEPT is disabled, the system may become more vulnerable to advanced attacks that exploit kernel vulnerabilities, thereby allowing attackers to potentially gain elevated privileges or manipulate system memory. The rule's detection is based on monitoring for modifications to the specific registry key associated with HEPT. If an unauthorized change is detected—specifically the setting of the key's value to 'DWORD (0x00000001)'—an alert is generated. The source of the log data is categorized as 'registry_set' for Windows, ensuring it captures the necessary information for accurate detection.
