CEPHALUS HUNTER — RDP HIJACK DETECTOR (Windows Only)

Built by CyberDudeBivash | DFIR • SOC • Threat Intelligence

Cephalus Hunter is an enterprise-grade RDP Hijack Detection Tool designed to identify unauthorized remote sessions, token theft, shadow sessions, and lateral movement patterns inside Windows environments.

This tool is crafted for:

SOC Analysts
DFIR Investigators
Windows Administrators
Threat Hunters
VAPT Teams
Incident Responders

RDP hijacking is one of the most common and undetected attack vectors used in ransomware, APT operations, internal threat abuse, and lateral movement.
Cephalus Hunter gives you real-time visibility into everything attackers try to hide.

Features

RDP Session Enumeration

Detect all active RemoteInteractive (LogonType 10) sessions.

Shadow Session Detection

Reveal hidden/stealth RDP shadowing using Terminal Services API.

Token Hijacking Indicators

Identify suspicious processes or mismatched identity executions commonly seen in:

Credential theft
Session token replay
RDP session takeover

Event Log Correlation

Parses Windows Security Logs for Event IDs:

4624 — Successful Logon
4625 — Failed Logon

Useful for spotting:

Brute-force attempts
Lateral movement
Suspicious sign-ins

PDF Forensic Reporting

Generate a complete CyberDudeBivash DFIR Report with:

Session summary
Shadow evidence
Tokens & processes
Event correlation
System metadata

PyQt6 GUI Dashboard

Clean, modern, responsive interface showing:

Real-time output
Alert sections
Export options

Windows-Only (By Design)

RDP hijacking detection relies on Windows APIs:

Win32
Terminal Services
WMI
Event Logs
