RunDLL32.exe monitoring

Adversaries may find it necessary to use [Dyanamic-link Libraries](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682589.aspx) (DLLs) to [evade defenses](https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0005). One way these DLLs can be "executed" is through the use of the built-in Windows utility [RunDLL32](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1218.011), which allows a user to execute code in a DLL, providing the name and optional arguments to an exported entry point. Windows uses RunDll32 legitimately in its normal operation, but with a proper baseline and understanding of the environment, monitoring its usage could be fruitful.
