Place useful parts of the surrounding repos into sica-fondt by layer, per the
body model (Ada = membrane; brain/endocrine/capabilities/knowledge non-Ada):
- brain/ LLM reasoning + providers (dapr, hermes, MoMoA)
- capabilities/ REPRAG sidecars: hermes tools/skills, dapr tools, parallel
dispatch, A51 channels, and the OSINT cluster
- knowledge/ LORAG corpus: 754 cyber-skills, agency personas, secure-coding,
MITRE ATT&CK data
- reference/ defensive threat-reference (C3, shhbruh doc) + AdaYaml parser
License handling: AGPL sources (worldosint, advanced_evolution, mercury,
Reticulum) and GPL DeTTECT are SPEC-only clean-room/port descriptions — no
copyleft code copied. MIT/Apache/data parts copied as working trees.
Safety: shhbruh escape/persistence material and C3 covert-C2 kept as reference
only, not wired into the running organism. See CONSOLIDATION.md.

Hunting for Startup Folder Persistence
Overview
Attackers use Windows startup folders for persistence (MITRE ATT&CK T1547.001 — Boot or Logon Autostart Execution: Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder). Files placed in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup or C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup execute automatically at user logon. This skill scans startup directories for suspicious files, monitors for real-time changes using Python watchdog, and analyzes file metadata to detect persistence implants.
When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require hunting for startup folder persistence
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ with
watchdog,pefile(optional for PE analysis) - Access to Windows startup folders (user and all-users)
- Windows Event Logs for Event ID 4663 correlation (optional)
Steps
- Enumerate all files in user and system startup directories
- Analyze file types, creation timestamps, and digital signatures
- Flag suspicious file extensions (.bat, .vbs, .ps1, .lnk, .exe)
- Check for recently created files (< 7 days) as potential implants
- Monitor startup folders in real-time using watchdog FileSystemEventHandler
- Correlate with known legitimate startup entries
- Generate threat hunting report with T1547.001 MITRE mapping
Expected Output
- JSON report listing all startup folder contents with risk scores, file metadata, and suspicious indicators
- Real-time monitoring alerts for new file creation in startup directories
