# Overview
After executing the malicious PowerShell script, a persistent backdoor has been established on the compromised systems. This backdoor allows MuddyWater to maintain access over extended periods.

# Key Findings
- Persistence is achieved by modifying registry entries to ensure the script runs at startup.
- The backdoor is designed to blend in with legitimate system processes to avoid detection.
- It has capabilities to receive commands from the C2 server for further exploitation.

# Recommendations
- Conduct regular audits of startup entries and services.
- Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify anomalies.
- Regularly update and patch systems to prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities.
