We know that .exe and .js are being monitored by autosandbox and HIPS.
What about the more unusual executables, such as HTA?
Is there a list of monitored file types?
I think only the most common interpreted scripts are monitored e.g. java, javascript, vbscript, windows batch/powershell. But you can try running other types to see if they get sandboxed or produce HIPS alert for their actions.
I simply marked mshta.exe as unrecognized, so I will get a prompt for it.
Do you know other such processes to do this with?
Adobe reader if you have it installed to open .pdf files.
I use Edge on windows 10 as default PDF viewer, I heard it’s pretty safe
