Question 139

Which persistence mechanism will evade detection by Sysinternals AutoRuns?

    Correct Answer: D

    The persistence mechanism that is most likely to evade detection by Sysinternals AutoRuns is WMI event subscription. AutoRuns is designed to detect various autostarting locations including scheduled tasks, user accounts, and new services, which makes these methods more easily detectable. WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) event subscriptions can be used to achieve persistence in a more stealthy manner as they are less likely to be flagged by AutoRuns.
