Hi Jason, Thanks for reaching out. In order to simulate the Adobe Hijack Persistence alert, you need to ensure that you have both winlogbeat and sysmon running, then the easiest way would be to run this from cmd: ``` echo foo > "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroCEF\RdrCEF.exe" ``` Please let us know if that works for you. Best, Steph ---
