  2. Maybe a bit of an explanation why it does this:

    When a new user is logging on, Windows needs to load the users class hive. Since the user isn't logged on before logging on (tautology, I know), it can't be loaded in the context of the user. So it is loaded in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

    LegacyHive abuses this.

    It messes with the Windows Object Manager and instead of the actual UsrClass.dat hive points at C:\randomGUID\UsrClass.dat. then it places an oplock on that file and starts an (interactive) logon for the user whose Object Manager path has been manipulated.
    This leads Windows to try to open the file, but it can't, because of the Oplock. So the process looks at the Object Manager namespace again, finds a symlink (also manipulated by LegacyHive) and loads that instead, attaching it as the class hive for the user it is trying to create an interactive session for.
    The load succeeds because, as I mentioned earlier, Windows falls back to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM when it doesn't have a user context yet.

    Hope this makes at least some sense :blobcatgoogly2:
