Hunting Rituals #3: Threat hunting for scheduled tasks

The report provides practical techniques for hunting Windows Scheduled Task persistence (T1053.005/T1053.002), including EDR queries for process creation involving schtasks.exe/at.exe, detecting execution via characteristic parent processes (taskeng.exe, taskhost.exe, svchost.exe with Schedule service), and locating/reviewing task XML files in \Windows\System32\Tasks\ to extract executed commands, while noting the need to filter benign noise.
