How AI describes Microsoft Sysinternals Sysmon

Sysmon (System Monitor) is a Windows system service and device driver from Sysinternals that, once installed, remains resident across reboots to monitor and log system activity to the Windows event log. It records detailed events such as process creation with full command lines for current and parent processes, file image hashes, and loading of drivers or DLLs, including signatures and hashes, with correlation data like process and session GUIDs. The collected events can be analyzed by SIEM tools or Windows Event Collection to detect malicious or anomalous activity, but Sysmon itself does not perform analysis or conceal itself from attackers.
