    1. Windows Event Logs:
      • Windows Event Logs can capture a variety of system activities, including process creation and termination events. You can use tools like Event Viewer or PowerShell cmdlets to query these logs.
      • For example, you can use the Get-WinEvent cmdlet to filter and retrieve specific events related to process activities.
    2. PowerShell Scripting:
      • PowerShell can be used to monitor and log process activities. You can write scripts to capture process information, including command line arguments and file activities.
      • Example PowerShell script to log process creation:$logFile = "C:\ProcessLog.txt" Register-WmiEvent -Query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 1 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Process'" -Action { $process = $Event.SourceEventArgs.NewEvent.TargetInstance $logEntry = "Process: $($process.Name) | CommandLine: $($process.CommandLine) | Time: $(Get-Date)" Add-Content -Path $logFile -Value $logEntry }
