As such it is constantly being updated and new featured are added. As it relates to configurations this guide tries to be as open as possible since each environment is unique and recomendations are based on these contraints as much as possible. The guide is made Open Source so that as Sysmon evolves the comunity helps in expanding and maintaining the guide. ## Contributing Please use the issues system or GitHub pull requests to make corrections, contributions, and other changes to the text - we welcome your contributions! ## Credits This guide written, maintained and edited by Carlos Perez of TrustedSec LLC. - Copyright 2025 © TrustedSec LLC.
