A blue team asks you to demonstrate one persistence vector safely. What do you do?

Problem Statement

Explanation

Pick a low-impact, reversible method that is already approved, such as creating a disabled test user or a scheduled task that writes a harmless marker file. Document every step, set a short lifetime, and remove it during the same window. The goal is to help defenders validate detections, not to hide access.
