DET0565 Detection Strategy for System Language Discovery

AN1561 Analytic 1561

Registry access to system language keys (e.g., HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language) or suspicious processes invoking locale-related APIs (e.g., GetUserDefaultUILanguage, GetSystemDefaultUILanguage, GetKeyboardLayoutList). Defender visibility focuses on anomalous or non-standard processes issuing these queries, especially when run by unknown binaries or scripts.

AN1562 Analytic 1562

Processes executing commands to query system locale and language settings, such as 'locale', 'echo $LANG', or parsing environment variables. Suspicious activity is indicated by these commands being run by unusual users, automation scripts, or non-administrative processes.

AN1563 Analytic 1563

Execution of commands to query system locale and language settings, such as 'defaults read -g AppleLocale' or 'systemsetup -gettimezone'. Unusual parent processes or execution contexts of these commands may indicate adversarial discovery.
