Windows.EventLogs.RDPAuth
Windows.EventLogs.RDPAuth
Extracts RDP authentication and session events from Security, System, and Terminal Services event logs.
Security channel - EventID in 4624,4634 AND LogonType 3, 7, or 10. Security channel - EventID in 4778,4625,4779, or 4647. System channel - EventID 9009. Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Operational - EventID 1149. Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational - EventID 23,22,21,24,25,39, or 40.
Best use of this artifact is to collect RDP and Authentication events around a timeframe of interest and order by EventTime to scope RDP activity.

If larger than zero we analyze VSS within this many days
ago. (e.g 7 will analyze all VSS within the last week). Note
that when using VSS analysis we have to use the ntfs accessor
for everything which will be much slower.
