Description

Identifies a Windows Installer package (MSI) originating from the internet, which when executed, installs a recognized RMM product. Attackers use RMMs commonly in social engineering campaigns to gain access and control over the victim's system. This rule does not establish that the origin, installer, or RMM product is inherently malicious. It also excludes installations covered by the companion rule "RMM Software Installation from a Commonly Abused Web Service".

Detection logic

Its licence does not clear it for publishing here

Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.
