RDP Nesting

kqlMITfrom Azure/Azure-Sentinel

'Query detects potential lateral movement within a network by identifying when an RDP connection (EventID 4624, LogonType 10) is made to an initial system, followed by a subsequent RDP connection from that system to another, using the same account within a 60-minute window. To reduce false positives, it excludes scenarios where the same account has made 5 or more connections to the same set of computers in the previous 7 days. This approach focuses on highlighting unusual RDP behaviour that suggests lateral movement, which is often associated with attacker tactics during a network breach.'
