One of the most valuable features of WDEG are the Windows event logs generated when a security feature is triggered. While documentation on configuration (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/customize-exploit-protection) and deployment (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/import-export-exploit-protection-emet-xml) of WDEG is readily accessible, documentation on what events WDEG supports, and the context around them, does not exist. The Palantir CIRT is of the opinion that the value of an event source is realized only upon documenting each field, applying context around the event, and leveraging these as discrete detection capabilities.
WDEG supplies events from multiple event sources (ETW providers) and destinations (event logs). In the documentation that follows, events are organized by their respective event destination. Additionally, many events use the same event template and are grouped accordingly. Microsoft does not currently document these events and context was acquired by utilizing documented ETW methodology (https://medium.com/palantir/tampering-with-windows-event-tracing-background-offense-and-defense-4be7ac62ac63), reverse engineering, and with support from security researchers (James Forshaw (https://twitter.com/tiraniddo) and Alex Ionescu (https://twitter.com/aionescu)) generously answering questions on Windows internals.

Event Properties
ProcessPathLength
The length, in characters, of the string in the ProcessPath field.
ProcessPath
The full path (represented as a device path) of the host process binary that triggered the event.
ProcessCommandLineLength
The length, in characters, of the string in the ProcessCommandLine field.
ProcessCommandLine
The full command line of the process that triggered the event.
CallingProcessId
The process ID of the process that triggered the event.
CallingProcessCreateTime
The creation time of the process that triggered the event.
CallingProcessStartKey
This field represents a locally unique identifier for the process. It was designed as a more robust version of process ID that is resistant to being repeated. Process start key was introduced in Windows 10 1507 and is derived from _KUSER_SHARED_DATA.BootId and EPROCESS.SequenceNumber, both of which increment and are unlikely to overflow. It is an unsigned 64-bit value that is derived using the following logic: (BootId << 30) | SequenceNumber. Kernel drivers can retrieve the process start key for a process by calling the PsGetProcessStartKey export in ntoskrnl.exe. A process start key can also be derived from user-mode (https://gist.github.com/mattifestation/3c2e8f80ca1fe1a7e276ee2607da8d18).
CallingProcessSignatureLevel
The signature level of the process executable. This is the validated signing level for the process when it was started. This field is populated from EPROCESS.SignatureLevel. Signature level can be any of the following values:
- 0x0 - Unchecked
- 0x1 - Unsigned
- 0x2 - Enterprise
- 0x3 - Custom1
- 0x4 - Authenticode
- 0x5 - Custom2
- 0x6 - Store
- 0x7 - Antimalware
- 0x8 - Microsoft
- 0x9 - Custom4
- 0xA - Custom5
- 0xB - DynamicCodegen
- 0xC - Windows
- 0xD - WindowsProtectedProcessLight
- 0xE - WindowsTcb
- 0xF - Custom6
CallingProcessSectionSignatureLevel The section signature level is the default required signature level for any modules that get loaded into the process. The same values as ProcessSignatureLevel are supported. This field is populated from EPROCESS.SectionSignatureLevel. The following are some example process and process section signature levels that you might realistically encounter:
- ProcessSignatureLevel: 8, ProcessSectionSignatureLevel: 6. This indicates that a Microsoft-signed host process will only load images with a Store signature at a minimum. Thanks to Alex Ionescu for pointing out this example scenario.
- ProcessSignatureLevel: 2, ProcessSectionSignatureLevel: 2. This indicates that both process and module loading are dictated by Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policy.
- ProcessSignatureLevel: 0, ProcessSectionSignatureLevel: 0. This would indicate that signature level enforcement for process and module loading is not enforced.
CallingProcessProtection
The type of protected process and the protected process signer. This field is populated from EPROCESS.Protection and corresponds to the PS_PROTECTION structure. These values are well documented in Windows Internals: Volume 7.
The first 3 bits contain the type of protected process (refers to the low nibble of the value):
- PsProtectedTypeNone - 0
- PsProtectedTypeProtectedLight - 1
- PsProtectedTypeProtected - 2
The top 4 bits contain the protected process signer (refers to the high nibble of the value):
- PsProtectedSignerNone - 0
- PsProtectedSignerAuthenticode - 1
- PsProtectedSignerCodeGen - 2
- PsProtectedSignerAntimalware - 3
- PsProtectedSignerLsa - 4
- PsProtectedSignerWindows - 5
- PsProtectedSignerWinTcb - 6
- PsProtectedSignerWinSystem - 7
- PsProtectedSignerApp - 8
Here are some example process protection values:
- 0x31 - A PPL, antimalware process
- 0x62 - A protected, WinTCB process
CallingThreadId
The thread ID of the thread responsible for triggering the event. This field is populated from ETHREAD.Cid.UniqueThread.
CallingThreadCreateTime
The creation time of the thread responsible for triggering the event. This field is populated from ETHREAD.CreateTime.
Child Process Creation Events

Function that generates the event: PayloadRestrictions!MitLibProcessIAFGuardPage
Event Properties
Subcode
Specifies a value in the range of 1-4 that indicates how how the event was triggered.
- 1 - Indicates that the classic EAF mitigation was triggered. This subcode is used if the instruction pointer address used to access the EAF does not map to a DLL that was loaded from disk (ntdll!RtlPcToFileHeader (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winnt/nf-winnt-rtlpctofileheader) is used to make this determination).
- 2 - Indicates that the stack registers ([R|S]P and [R|E]BP) fall outside the stack extent of the current thread. This is one of the EAF+ mitigations.
- 3 - Indicates that a memory reader gadget was used to access the EAF. PayloadRestrictions.dll statically links a disassembler library that attempts to make this determination. This is one of the EAF+ mitigations.
- 4 - Indicates that the IAF mitigation triggered. This also implies that the APIName property will be populated.
ProcessPath
The full path of the process in which the EAF/IAF mitigation triggered.
ProcessId
The process ID of the process in which the EAF/IAF mitigation triggered.
ModuleFullPath
The full path of the module that caused the mitigation to trigger. This value will be empty if the subcode value is 1.
ModuleBase
The base address of the module that caused the mitigation to trigger. This value will be 0 if the subcode value is 1.
ModuleAddress
The instruction pointer address ([R|E]IP) upon the mitigation triggering. This property is only relevant to the EAF mitigations. It does not apply to the IAF mitigation.
MemAddress
The virtual address that was accessed within a protected module that triggered a guard page exception. This property is only relevant to the EAF mitigations. It does not apply to the IAF mitigation.
MemModuleFullPath
The full path of the protected module that was accessed. This string is obtained from LDR_DATA_TABLE_ENTRY.FullDllName in the PEB. This property is only relevant to the EAF mitigations. It does not apply to the IAF mitigation.
MemModuleBase
The base address of the protected module that was accessed.
APIName
The blacklisted export function name that was accessed. This property is only applicable to the IAF mitigation. The following APIs are included in the blacklist: GetProcAddressForCaller, LdrGetProcedureAddress, LdrGetProcedureAddressEx, CreateProcessAsUserA, CreateProcessAsUserW, GetModuleHandleA, GetModuleHandleW, RtlDecodePointer, DecodePointer.
ProcessStartTime

Level: 0 (Log Always)
Function that generates the event: PayloadRestrictions!MitLibRopCheckSimExecFlow
Description: The simulate execution flow mitigation simulates continued execution of any of the functions listed in HookedAPI section and if any of the return logic along the stack resembles ROP behavior, this event is triggered.
Event ID 24 - ROP mitigation enforced: Simulate Execution Flow
Message: Process '%2' (PID %3) was blocked from calling the API '%4' due to return-oriented programming (ROP) exploit indications.
Level: 3 (Warning)
Function that generates the event: PayloadRestrictions!MitLibRopCheckSimExecFlow
Event Properties
Subcode
Specifies a value in the range of 5-7 that indicates how how the event was triggered.
- 5 - Indicates that the stack pivot ROP mitigation was triggered.
- 6 - Indicates that the โcaller checks" ROP mitigation was triggered.
- 7 - Indicates that the โsimulate execution flow" ROP mitigation was triggered.
ProcessPath
The full path of the process in which the ROP mitigation triggered.
ProcessId
The process ID of the process in which the ROP mitigation triggered.
HookedAPI
The name of the monitored API that triggered the event. The following hooked APIs are monitored: LoadLibraryA, LoadLibraryW, LoadLibraryExA, LoadLibraryExW, LdrLoadDll, VirtualAlloc, VirtualAllocEx, NtAllocateVirtualMemory, VirtualProtect, VirtualProtectEx, NtProtectVirtualMemory, HeapCreate, RtlCreateHeap, CreateProcessA, CreateProcessW, CreateProcessInternalA, CreateProcessInternalW, NtCreateUserProcess, NtCreateProcess, NtCreateProcessEx, CreateRemoteThread, CreateRemoteThreadEx, NtCreateThreadEx, WriteProcessMemory, NtWriteVirtualMemory, WinExec, LdrGetProcedureAddressForCaller, GetProcAddress, GetProcAddressForCaller, LdrGetProcedureAddress, LdrGetProcedureAddressEx, CreateProcessAsUserA, CreateProcessAsUserW, GetModuleHandleA, GetModuleHandleW, RtlDecodePointer, DecodePointer
ReturnAddress
I was unable to spend too much time reversing PayloadRestrictions.dll to how this property is populated but based on fired events and inference, this property indicates the return address for the current stack frame that triggered the ROP event. A return address that pointed to an address in the stack or to an address of another ROP gadget (a small sequence of instructions followed by a return instruction) would be considered suspicious.
CalledAddress
This appears to be the address of the hooked, blacklisted API that was called by the potential ROP chain.
TargetAddress
This value appears to be the target call/jump address of the ROP gadget to which control was to be transferred via non-traditional means. The TargetAddress value is zero when the โsimulate execution flow" ROP mitigation was triggered.
StackAddress
The stack address triggering the stack pivot ROP mitigation. This value only populated with the stack pivot ROP mitigation. The StackAddress value is zero when the โsimulate execution flow" and โcaller checks" ROP mitigations are triggered. When StackAddress is populated, it would indicate that the stack address falls outside the stack extent (NT_TIB StackBase/StackLimit range) for the current thread.
FrameAddress
This value is zeroed out in code so it is unclear what itโs intended purpose is.
ReturnAddressModuleFullPath
The full path of the module that is backed by the ReturnAddress property (via ntdll!RtlPcToFileHeader and ntdll!LdrGetDllFullName). If ReturnAddress is not backed by a disk-backed module, this property will be empty.
ProcessStartTime
The creation time of the process specified in ProcessPath/ProcessId. The process time is obtained by calling NtQueryInformationProcess (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winternl/nf-winternl-ntqueryinformationprocess) with ProcessTimes as the ProcessInformationClass argument. The process time is obtained from the CreateTime field of the KERNEL_USER_TIMES structure.
ThreadId
The thread ID of the thread that generated the event.
