+name: Suspicious registry symbolic link creation
+id: 56e14e7a-69a2-4195-aca4-4d7975e01e54
+version: 1.0.0
+description: |
+  Detects the creation of registry symbolic links, a technique that
+  allows attackers to redirect registry key lookups to arbitrary
+  locations within the registry hive.
+  Adversaries abuse this mechanism to manipulate the registry
+  namespace and influence how privileged processes or system
+  services resolve registry paths, potentially enabling privilege
+  escalation without exploiting a traditional code vulnerability.
