Remote Utilities Host Service Installation
This rule detects the installation of the 'Remote Utilities - Host' service on a Windows system. It specifically looks for Event ID 7045 from the 'Service Control Manager' provider, which indicates a service installation. The detection is further refined by checking for the presence of 'rutserv.exe' and '-service' in the ImagePath, or the exact service name 'Remote Utilities - Host'. This activity is often associated with remote access tools, which can be used legitimately for IT administration but also by adversaries for persistence and remote control.
