Background

TELEMETRY is a C# For Windows PERSISTENCE

Today we’re going to talk about a persistence method that takes advantage of some of the wonderful telemetry that Microsoft has included in Windows versions for the last decade.

• Local admin rights to install (requires the ability to write to HKLM)
• Have CompatTelRunner.exe
• 2008R2/Windows 7 through 2019/Windows 10

Advantage

• Using the system's own Telemetry planned tasks
• Only registry suspicious backdoor troubleshooting
