## Backdoor Access and Persistence

**Overview:**
Post-execution, the threat actors have established backdoor access, ensuring persistent presence on compromised systems. This allows them to maintain control and facilitate further exploitation.

**Key Findings:**
- A new service is created to run at startup, linked to the malicious payload.
- Registry modifications detected to ensure backdoor persistence.
- Backdoor communications are encrypted, complicating detection efforts.

**Recommendations:**
- Monitor for creation of unauthorized services and registry changes.
- Implement endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to track anomalous behaviors.

**Next Steps:**
Investigate potential lateral movement patterns and credentials that may have been compromised.
