This Suricata rule detects potential internal RDP session hijack attempts. It triggers an alert when there are three or more established TCP connections to port 3389 (RDP) on the home network, originating from within the home network, within a 30-second window, tracked by the destination IP address. This pattern could indicate an attacker attempting to take over an existing RDP session or rapidly establish multiple RDP connections internally.
