Detects high-frequency outbound TCP connection attempts from a WSO2 API Gateway or Traffic Manager host to multiple sensitive internal management and administrative ports (22, 445, 3389, 5985, 5986). This behavior is indicative of a compromised gateway being used for lateral movement across the network.
This rule detects potential lateral movement by identifying suspicious child processes (such as cmd, powershell, or rundll32) spawned by WmiPrvSE.exe shortly after a remote interactive or network logon on the same device.

Detects the execution of the SSH client (ssh.exe) with remote port forwarding arguments (-R). This technique is commonly used by adversaries to establish a reverse SSH tunnel, allowing them to proxy Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) traffic from an internal victim machine to an external attacker-controlled server, effectively bypassing perimeter firewall restrictions. This behavior has been observed in various ransomware and C2 campaigns, including Bumblebee and Akira.
Detects the enablement of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) by modifying registry keys or service configurations, specifically when triggered by identified remote access tools or common script interpreters (cmd, powershell, etc.) executing from non-standard user-writable paths such as Temp or AppData. This behavior is indicative of lateral movement preparation.
Detects anomalous pythonw.exe execution from non-standard installation paths that exhibits a fan-out pattern of network connections to multiple sensitive internal administrative ports (445, 3389, 5985, 22, 1433, 135, 389). This behavior is characteristic of lateral movement using a SOCKS5 proxy tunnel, such as the activity observed in the TWINLOOT campaign where implants pivot through reverse tunnels to access internal resources.
FortiGate Allowed RDP Connection
Cortex XDR
Detects network traffic identified by FortiGate as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) that has been explicitly permitted (Accept action) by the firewall policy. This rule monitors for successful packet flow through the firewall, providing visibility into potential lateral movement paths via RDP.
Detects RDP-based lateral movement, including pivots into VDI, AD, and authentication infrastructure, excluding known bastion/jump hosts and flagging sessions from atypical source workstations or off-hours timing.
Detects use of default SSL-VPN administrator credentials from external or unusual source geographies after production provisioning, where account-lockout controls are absent — the initial-access vector observed in Gunra intrusions.
KQL Query from file: Hunting Mirage kitten AKA unc1549
This rule detects hosts exhibiting behavior consistent with an active ransomware or destructive attack in progress, by correlating five distinct attack-chain stages within a rolling 24-hour window: environment/AD enumeration, network share discovery, lateral movement via RDP, credential dumping, and backup/recovery destruction.
This rule detects Remote Interactive (RDP) logon events performed by a local administrator account where the source of the connection is identified as the local host (127.0.0.1, ::1) or the device itself. This pattern is indicative of attackers using tunneling tools, such as the SNOWGLAZE SOCKS proxy, to relay RDP traffic through a compromised host to bypass network-level security controls.
Detects execution of msconfig.exe or modification of the fDenyTSConnections registry value via reg.exe/powershell.exe, techniques STAC4749 operators used to enable Remote Desktop Protocol on compromised hosts to support lateral movement.

This rule detects the creation of a local user account named _BootUEFI_ and its addition to the Remote Desktop Users group, followed by RemoteInteractive logons using that account. This behavior is indicative of an RDP backdoor mechanism associated with the HeptaX campaign.
Detects a single unrecognized process combining two or more distinct PRO/ULTIMATE surveillance behaviors: webcam capture via Win32 Media Foundation, screenshot/screen-recorder file drops, and keystroke/clipboard dump file creation, within a short 15-minute window. Excludes known legitimate screen-recording, remote-support, and accessibility software.
Detects registry modifications consistent with Blind Eagle's Hidden RDP (HRDP) module, which disables Network Level Authentication (NLA) on the RDP listener and hides a local admin account from the Windows login screen via the SpecialAccounts\UserList registry key, as part of enabling covert RDP access reverse-tunneled to a C2 server.
