TECHNICAL:
36-
- Run sysmon.exe -? for a briefing on Sysmon configuration.
37-
- Sysmon does not support nested/multi-conditional rules. There are only blanket INCLUDE and EXCLUDE. "Exclude" rules override "Include" rules.
38-
- If you only specify exclude for a filtering subsection, everything in that subsection is logged by default.
39-
- Some Sysmon monitoring abilities are not meant for general-purpose use due to their large performance impact, such as ProcessAccess.
40-
- Duplicate or overlapping "Include" rules do not result in duplicate events being logged.
41-
- All characters enclosed by XML tags are always interpreted literally. Sysmon does not support wildcards (*), alternate characters, or RegEx.
42-
- In registry events, the value name is appended to the full key path with a "\" delimiter. Default key values are named "\(Default)"
43-
- "Image" is a technical term for a compiled binary file like an EXE or DLL. Also, it can match just the filename, or entire path.
44-
- "ProcessGuid" is randomly generated, assigned, and tracked by Sysmon to assist in tracing individual process launches. Cleared on service restart.
45-
- "LoginGuid" is randomly generated, assigned, and tracked by Sysmon to assist in tracing individual user sessions. Cleared on service restart.

- Sysmon does not track which rule caused an event to be logged.

- The "image" filter is usable with any field. Same as "is" but can either match the entire string, or only the text after the last "\" in the string. Credit: @mattifestation

PERFORMANCE: By using "end with" you can save performance by starting a string match at the end of a line, which usually triggers earlier.
