Remote Desktop Protocol
RDP is a multichannel network protocol developed by Microsoft
and is used for communication between Terminal Servers and their clients.
It is commonly used in many corporate environments for remote administration
using the Windows-native Remote Desktop Connection application.
This can also serve as an excellent tool for lateral movement
that will blend in with an organization’s common network usage pattern.
In the following sections, we will discuss various RDP attacks
including the abuse of standard RDP sessions,
passing the hash, proxying RDP and stealing clear text credentials.
