During a malware forensic investigation, a newly added entry was identified in the Windows AutoStart registry keys after a malware execution on a compromised system. The entry indicates a VB script file named "CaoClboog.vbs" installed in the 'Run' key to achieve persistence and run automatically upon user login. As a Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI), where would you expect to find this suspicious entry in the registry hive?
In Windows, the 'Run' key under the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion' path is used to execute programs when a specific user logs in. Since the scenario describes the malware being set to run automatically upon user login, the most accurate location for such an entry is within this 'Run' key under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER'. This key is specific to the currently logged-in user, which aligns with the described behavior of the malware aiming to achieve persistence on a per-user basis.
All values in this subkey run when this specific user logs on, as this setting is user specific
