At a glance

Question

Is this host in scope?

Reads

Nothing of its own: every record the other modules read, plus direct checks of file paths and registry keys.

Needs

A profile with pivots.

SCOPE

How it works

Scope rides along with the other modules: it is fed every record their sources produce and matches the profile's pivot points against what each record names. It never widens a read - it searches only what the run read anyway. Then it checks directly a full file path on disk and a registry key (pivot_check).

The full list of pivot types and what each is matched against is on Pivot points.

How to read it

  • One signal per pivot found, its occurrences every record that held it, across evidence types.

  • The pivots table has a row for every pivot, found or not: where it was found, what its direct check found, which kinds of record were searched, and what a "not found" cannot rule out.

  • The context you gave each pivot travels with every hit, so a reader knows why it matters.
