  REQUIRED: Sysmon version 9.00 or higher 
	https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/sysinternals/2019/02/19/sysmon-v9-0-autoruns-v13-94/
  NOTE: Do not let the imposing size and complexity of this configuration scare you off building your own or customizing it.
	This configuration is based around known high-quality event tracing, and thus looks extremely complicated.
	Sysmon configurations only have to be a few lines, but significant effort has been invested in front-loading as
	much filtering as possible onto the client. This is to make analysis of intrusions possible by hand, and try to
	surface anomalous activity as quickly as possible to any technician armed only with Event Viewer.
  NOTE:	Sysmon is not hardened against a determined attacker with admin rights. Also, this configuration offers an attacker, willing
	to study it closely, several ways to evade some of the alerting. If you are in a high-threat environment and have significant 
	security staff, you should consider a much broader log-all approach. However, in the vast majority of cases, an attacker
	will bumble along through multiple behavioral traps which this configuration monitors, especially in the first minutes.
  NOTE:	"Image" is a technical term for a compiled binary file like an EXE or DLL. Also, it can match just the filename, or entire path.
		"ProcessGuid" is randomly generated, assigned, and tracked by Sysmon to assist in tracing individual process launches.
		"LoginGuid" is randomly generated, assigned, and tracked by Sysmon to assist in tracing individual user sessions.
