 This rule prevents the execution of commands to restart machines in Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that only loads the essential files and drivers needed for Windows to run. However, in Safe Mode, many security products are either disabled or operate in a limited capacity, which allows attackers to further launch tampering commands, or execute and encrypt all files on the machine. This rule blocks such attacks by preventing processes from restarting machines in Safe Mode.

 This rule blocks the use of executable files that are identified as copies of Windows system tools. These files are either duplicates or impostors of the original system tools. Some malicious programs might try to copy or impersonate Windows system tools to avoid detection or gain privileges. Allowing such executable files can lead to potential attacks. This rule prevents propagation and execution of such duplicates and impostors of the system tools on Windows machines.

-> When managing ASR rules using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint security settings management, the setting for **Block Webshell creation for Servers** must be configured as `Not Configured` in Group Policy or other local settings. If this rule is set to any other value (such as `Enabled` or `Disabled`), it could cause conflicts and prevent the policy from applying correctly through security settings management.
