You are a junior threat intelligence analyst at a Cybersecurity firm. You have been tasked with investigating a Cyber espionage campaign known as Operation Dream Job. The goal is to gather crucial information about this operation.

Byte Doctor Reyes is investigating a stealthy post-breach attack where several expected security logs and Windows Defender alerts appear to be missing. He suspects the attacker employed defense evasion techniques to disable or manipulate security controls, significantly complicating detection efforts. Using the exported event logs, your objective is to uncover how the attacker compromised the system's defenses to remain undetected.

Talion suspects that the threat actor carried out anti-virtualization checks to avoid detection in sandboxed environments. Your task is to analyze the event logs and identify the specific techniques used for virtualization detection. Byte Doctor requires evidence of the registry checks or processes the attacker executed to perform these checks.
