# Report on Persistence Mechanisms

## Overview
The operation has progressed to the persistence phase, where Royal APT is attempting to maintain a foothold within the compromised infrastructure.

## Observed Techniques
- **Registry Modification**: Changes made to the Windows Registry to ensure payload execution at boot.
- **Scheduled Tasks**: Creation of scheduled tasks to execute malicious scripts at regular intervals.

## Implications
These mechanisms suggest a strategic attempt to ensure the ongoing presence and resilience of the threat actor within the network.

## Countermeasures
- Regularly audit registry changes and scheduled tasks.
- Implement endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify anomalies.
