The RMM Problem

Remote Monitoring & Management tools are:

  • Legitimate IT software
  • Increasingly abused by attackers
  • Difficult to distinguish from normal use
  • Perfect for persistence

What is LOLRMM?

LOLRMM is a community project cataloging RMM tools with:

  • Legitimate use cases
  • Abuse indicators
  • Detection strategies
  • Network indicators

Why RMM Tools?

Attackers love RMM tools because they:

  • Are already trusted by security tools
  • Provide remote access
  • Survive reboots
  • Blend with IT activity

Common tools abused by attackers:

  • AnyDesk
  • TeamViewer
  • ScreenConnect
  • Atera
  • Splashtop

Detection Strategies

For each RMM tool, LOLRMM provides:

  • Process names
  • Network indicators
  • Registry artifacts
  • File paths
  • Splunk queries
