Hello and good day:

I have a question. Exactly how dynamic is the Windows Registry?
Specifically, if you were somehow able to monitor in real-time the
changes made to the registry of a system on your network (HW/SW
installation, Processes running, websites visited, etc.) would you be
able to thwart an attack by that system (user), or would it be too
little information, too late?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Jason

Well, if you want to know, check out "regmon" from sysinternals. It
allows you to monitor the registry in real time. Fasten your seatbelt
though :)
