Tweaking.com - Remote Desktop IP Monitor & Blocker is a free tool to monitor any IP that tries to connect to the remote desktop.
This free program will monitor the remote desktop port using the Windows Netstat API and keep them in a log for later viewing. The program has a built-in block IP tool to easily block any IP address. It does this by using the built-in Windows IP Security Policy (IPSec).
It was built by the author of Tweaking.Com - Windows Repair because he kept seeing brute force attacks on a customers server who had remote desktop enabled and open to the internet. The attacks were trying to brute force the password for the administrator account. The Windows Event Viewer was not showing which IP address the connections were coming from. They were also coming from multiple locations and hitting at random times during the day and night. So tracking them down with the built-in Windows tools was going nowhere. This tool will monitor and log any IP that hits the remote desktop and to be able to block those IP's.
