Windows MSTSC RDP Commandline

The following analytic detects the use of the mstsc.exe command-line, which is commonly used to initiate Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections. This detection focuses on instances where mstsc.exe is executed with specific parameters that may indicate suspicious or unauthorized remote access attempts.
