    ArcticMyst Security is a new open source EDR program.

    The software is presented as Endpoint Detection Response.

    What is it really? A behaviour blocker? An HIPS? Or an anti-executable? Possibly a SRP policy software?

    The following are its listed features:

    1) Monitoring: Processes executed (file path and command line)

    2) Monitoring: SHA256 hash of processes executed

    3) Blocking: RunDLL32.exe is not allowed to call Winsock DLLs or the WSAStartup function. These events are blocked and a systray balloon notification appears. Excel not allowed to load XLL files – malware attack vector – balloon notification alert. User can choose to temporarily pause these blocking functions

    4) Monitoring: Registry startup changes (Causes systray balloon notification alert)

    5) Monitoring: Crashing Processes via Windows Event Log event callback - crashes often occur during an attempted attack. This monitoring function may also help identify problematic software (Causes systray balloon notification alert)

    6) Monitoring: Changes to PendingFileRenameOperations registry (monitored because some malware uses this to delete security tools on reboot)
