Remote Access Tool - AnyDesk Silent Installation

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule is designed to identify the silent installation of AnyDesk, a popular remote access tool. Attackers can exploit such tools to gain unauthorized remote access to victim machines, making it crucial for security systems to monitor for their installation. The rule applies to process creation events in a Windows environment and focuses on command line arguments typically associated with the silent installation of AnyDesk. The detection logic specifies that the presence of any of the following command line arguments: '--install', '--start-with-win', or '--silent' indicates an attempt to install AnyDesk silently. This kind of installation can often bypass user interaction and consent, posing a significant security risk. False positives may occur during legitimate deployments of AnyDesk, which organizations sometimes use for remote support or administration. Consequently, security teams should consider context and deployment methods when investigating alerts based on this rule.
