ArcticMyst Security 20240617c
ArcticMyst Security will monitor process events, registry startup changes, registry pending delete operations, and crashing processes. It will also block rundll32.exe from using Winsock or calling WSAStartup, and blocks Excel from loading .XLL files.
You do have the option to pause blocking options temporarily if needed. Systray balloons will promptly alert the user when registry startup entries change, processes crash, rundll32 calls Winsock/WSAStartup, and when Excel loads XLL files.
All events are transmitted to DeepTide's server for threat hunt analysis.
ArcticMyst Security Features:
Process monitoring via NtCreateUserProcess hook and Event Log subscription callback (file path, command line, SHA256)
HKLM/HKCU Run registry startup changes (common malware persistence method)

Crashing process/process dump monitoring via event log subscription callback
Excel is not allowed to load .XLL files (LdrLoadDll hook) & LdrRegisterDllNotification function methods
