feat: add NIST CSF 2.0 nist_csf field to all 754 cybersecurity skills
Mapped every skill to NIST CSF 2.0 subcategory IDs (GV/ID/PR/DE/RS/RC functions) based on subdomain and content analysis. Restores 11 skills corrupted during prior rebase, re-enriching with ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF, and CSF 2.0 fields. All 754 skills now carry structured mappings for all 5 security frameworks: - MITRE ATT&CK (in tags) - MITRE ATLAS v5.5 (atlas_techniques) - MITRE D3FEND v1.3 (d3fend_techniques) - NIST AI RMF 1.0 (nist_ai_rmf) - NIST CSF 2.0 (nist_csf)

# Analyzing Malware Persistence with Autoruns
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Sysinternals Autoruns extracts data from hundreds of Auto-Start Extensibility Points (ASEPs) on Windows, scanning 18+ categories including Run/RunOnce keys, services, scheduled tasks, drivers, Winlogon entries, LSA providers, print monitors, WMI subscriptions, and AppInit DLLs. Digital signature verification filters Microsoft-signed entries. The compare function identifies newly added persistence via baseline diffing. VirusTotal integration checks hash reputation. Offline analysis via -z flag enables forensic disk image examination.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- When investigating security incidents that require analyzing malware persistence with autoruns
|
||||
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
|
||||
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
|
||||
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- Sysinternals Autoruns (GUI) and Autorunsc (CLI)
|
||||
- Administrative privileges on target system
|
||||
- Python 3.9+ for automated analysis
|
||||
- VirusTotal API key for reputation checks
|
||||
- Clean baseline export for comparison
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Automated Persistence Scanning
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env python3
|
||||
"""Automate Autoruns-based persistence analysis."""
|
||||
import subprocess
|
||||
import csv
|
||||
import json
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
def scan_and_analyze(autorunsc_path="autorunsc64.exe", csv_path="scan.csv"):
|
||||
cmd = [autorunsc_path, "-a", "*", "-c", "-h", "-s", "-nobanner", "*"]
|
||||
result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=600)
|
||||
with open(csv_path, 'w') as f:
|
||||
f.write(result.stdout)
|
||||
return parse_and_flag(csv_path)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
def parse_and_flag(csv_path):
|
||||
suspicious = []
|
||||
with open(csv_path, 'r', errors='replace') as f:
|
||||
for row in csv.DictReader(f):
|
||||
reasons = []
|
||||
signer = row.get("Signer", "")
|
||||
if not signer or signer == "(Not verified)":
|
||||
reasons.append("Unsigned binary")
|
||||
if not row.get("Description") and not row.get("Company"):
|
||||
reasons.append("Missing metadata")
|
||||
path = row.get("Image Path", "").lower()
|
||||
for sp in ["\temp\\", "\appdata\local\temp", "\users\public\\"]:
|
||||
if sp in path:
|
||||
reasons.append(f"Suspicious path")
|
||||
launch = row.get("Launch String", "").lower()
|
||||
for kw in ["powershell", "cmd /c", "wscript", "mshta", "regsvr32"]:
|
||||
if kw in launch:
|
||||
reasons.append(f"LOLBin: {kw}")
|
||||
if reasons:
|
||||
row["reasons"] = reasons
|
||||
suspicious.append(row)
|
||||
return suspicious
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
||||
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
|
||||
results = parse_and_flag(sys.argv[1])
|
||||
print(f"[!] {len(results)} suspicious entries")
|
||||
for r in results:
|
||||
print(f" {r.get('Entry','')} - {r.get('Image Path','')}")
|
||||
for reason in r.get('reasons', []):
|
||||
print(f" - {reason}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Validation Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- All ASEP categories scanned and cataloged
|
||||
- Unsigned entries flagged for investigation
|
||||
- Suspicious paths and LOLBin launch strings highlighted
|
||||
- Baseline comparison identifies new persistence mechanisms
