This signature detects numerous Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections between two peers in a short period of time, which can be an indication of a Brute Force Attack (also known as a "Dictionary Attack"). An attacker may be attempting to guess valid credentials on an RDP-enabled Windows PC. A successful attack could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the compromised credentials.
