<p>Suspicious use of scripting parameters or registry edits to hide process windows (e.g., powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden, or registry modifications pushing window positions off screen). Defender view: correlation of hidden execution with anomalous process lineage or hVNC-like CreateDesktop API calls.</p>

Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=13, 14 | DC0063 Windows Registry Key Modification |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
HiddenProcessScope | Restrict to processes where hidden execution is unexpected (e.g., PowerShell, cmd, wscript). |
ParentProcessCorrelation | Correlate hidden execution with suspicious parent processes to reduce false positives. |
