Regshot: Before/After Diff

  • Takes a snapshot of the registry and (optionally) the file system.
  • Workflow: 1st shot (clean) -> detonate -> 2nd shot -> Compare.
  • Output is a diff: keys added/deleted/modified, files added/deleted.
  • Fast way to spot persistence keys and dropped files without reading a full Procmon trace.
Key Takeaway

Regshot answers "what changed?" in one clean before/after comparison.
