description: This rule flags process creation events where the executable name ends with ttdinject.exe or where the OriginalFileName is TTDInject.EXE. TTDInject.exe is used on Windows 10 v1809 and newer for time travel debugging, making its appearance noteworthy for both legitimate debugging and potential abuse. The detection relies on Windows process creation telemetry, specifically the process image name/filename and the OriginalFileName field.
