Rapid Escalation: RDP Enable, New Local Admin, and Registry Modification Post-Anomalous Login
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events: the enablement of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) via registry modification, followed by the creation of a new local administrator account with password expiration disabled, potentially accompanied by a netsh firewall rule modification to allow RDP. This combination of actions is highly indicative of an adversary establishing persistent remote access and creating a backdoor account.
