This rule detects attempts to re-enable the deprecated SMBv1 protocol, which may be exploited for lateral movement or to take advantage of legacy vulnerabilities.

Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a new detection rule: proc_creation_win_insecure_smbv1_enablement.yml.
It detects attempts to re-enable the obsolete and deprecated SMBv1 protocol via PowerShell cmdlets (Set-SmbServerConfiguration, Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature), DISM utility, or Service Control Manager. Adversaries and ransomware operators may re-enable SMBv1 on hardened endpoints to facilitate lateral movement or exploit legacy SMB vulnerabilities (such as EternalBlue).
