MITRE ATT&CK sub-technique

T1037.001 — Logon Script (Windows)

Last fetched

T1037.001 (Logon Script (Windows)) is a MITRE ATT&CK sub-technique tracked in WhisperGraph, serving the Persistence, Privilege Escalation tactics.

Description

Adversaries may use Windows logon scripts automatically executed at logon initialization to establish persistence. Windows allows logon scripts to be run whenever a specific user or group of users log into a system.(Citation: TechNet Logon Scripts) This is done via adding a path to a script to the <code>HKCU\Environment\UserInitMprLogonScript</code> Registry key.(Citation: Hexacorn Logon Scripts) Adversaries may use these scripts to maintain persistence on a single system. Depending on the access configuration of the logon scripts, either local credentials or an administrator account may be necessary.
