MITRE ATT&CK T1098 (Account Manipulation) covers adversary actions to maintain or expand access to compromised accounts, including adding credentials, modifying group memberships, SID history injection, and creating shadow admin accounts. This skill covers detecting these techniques through Windows Security Event Log analysis (Event IDs 4738, 4728, 4732, 4756, 4670, 5136), correlating group membership changes with privilege escalation indicators, and identifying anomalous account modification patterns.

Detect accounts receiving AdminSDHolder protection, direct privilege assignment, or SID history injection.
Cross-reference account changes with authentication events to identify initial compromise and persistence establishment.
JSON report with detected account manipulation events, privileged group changes, shadow admin indicators, and timeline correlation.
