Conversation

nursery/disable-automatic-windows-recovery-features.yml — Patterns
contain {default} which some regex engines interprets as a repetition
quantifier. fix: escape as \{default\}.

nursery/persist-via-hhctrl-com-hijack.yml — Pattern contains
{52A2AAAE-085D-4187-97EA-8C30DB990436} (a GUID). fix: escape as
\{52A2AAAE-085D-4187-97EA-8C30DB990436\}

closes #1163
anti-analysis/reference-analysis-tools-strings.yml — Pattern
(?<!\w)ida[gqtuw]?(\.exe)?$ uses a lookbehind assertion (?<!\w) not
supported by Rust's regex crate. The other ~70 patterns in this file
work fine.

closes #1164
