Identifies changes to the DNS Global Query Block List (GQBL), a security feature that prevents the resolution of certain
DNS names often exploited in attacks like WPAD spoofing. Attackers with certain privileges, such as DNSAdmins, can
modify or disable the GQBL, allowing exploitation of hosts running WPAD with default settings for privilege escalation
and lateral movement.
