RDP Session Daisy Chain

Hello,

I am trying to form a script that will parse information to detect RDP sessions that are Daisy Chained over our network.

Example:

src=* dest=* dest_port=3389 | transaction dest startswith=(src)

src=w.x.y.z. dest=1.2.3.4 dest_port-3389
scr=1.2.3.4 dest=a.b.c.d dest_port=3389

The problem is continuing the search to find multiple jumps and listing the multiple IPS.

You need duration or end time in addition to start time to consider doing this.

It's also going to be difficult to do this in a "normal" Splunk search. I did something somewhat similar with mail logs. Specifically I had to write a custom search command that followed tree-like data, which is what your use case really needs.
