Remote Access Tool - AnyDesk Incoming Connection

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule monitors incoming connections to the AnyDesk application on Windows systems. AnyDesk is a remote access tool that allows users to connect to other computers and potentially control them remotely. The primary focus of this rule is to identify incoming traffic directed at AnyDesk that may indicate a malicious actor attempting to establish a connection for unauthorized control over a compromised system. The rule detects connections where AnyDesk's executable is present, specifically targeting situations where the connection is not initiated by the local machine, which is a common indicator of unauthorized access attempts. Given the prevalence of remote access applications in both legitimate and malicious contexts, this rule aims to enhance the security posture of organizations by monitoring unusual access patterns potentially indicative of malicious command-and-control activities.
