Control the Registry
Real time response provides a list of commands that we can execute as well as the ability to run customized scripts. Accessed directly from the CrowdStrike Falcon® console, it is easy to connect to a host directly and repair any damage with a comprehensive list of commands.
Real time response has the ability to repair the registry in the event that an attack has made malicious modifications to it. The REG command can delete values, load hives, query the registry, set the values, and unload hives.
Real time response also has the ability to delete a registry value. CrowdStrike also has the ability to utilize scripts to execute commands. For example, here we can use a script to delete an offending registry value and remove an attack’s leverage of the registry.
Conclusion
Here we took a look at just a sliver of what Real Time Response is capable of, but even so, we can see that it’s extremely powerful, flexible, and easy to use. It allows responders to rapidly investigate incidents and remediate any issues identified and is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
