This detection rule identifies silent installations of AnyDesk, a remote access software, which can be exploited by threat actors for establishing command and control (C2) channels. It particularly targets instances where AnyDesk is installed using the '--silent' parameter, indicating a covert installation that may be part of nefarious activities conducted by various ransomware groups such as BlackByte and others. The logic utilizes Splunk for extracting endpoint data and checks the process command-line parameters for AnyDesk installations that occur silently. This method allows for monitoring and alerting on unauthorized or malicious remote access software installations on endpoints, thereby helping to mitigate risks associated with remote access exploitation.
