For the Blue Team'ers that will be investigating RDP-related incidents, I
authored (and maintain) a blog post on "Windows RDP-Related Event Logs:
Identification, Tracking, and Investigation" where I compiled and explain
the relevance of the most important RDP-related Windows Event IDs for use
in speedier investigations of RDP incidents. I've spent a lot of my career
doing IR, focusing a lot on Windows Event Logs, and couldn't find a single
source to help with RDP investigations - so I built it.

Hope it helps fellow defenders.

RDPThief steals cleartext credentials from RDP clients.  See an
excellent writeup on the tool at

.

You can download the tool from the link at the end of the article. They
have a nice video that shows the tool in action.  If you use RDP to/from
any domain joined computer, you run the risk of exposing your domain
credentials.

Just an FYI.
