Identify endpoints speaking the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
Description
This module attempts to connect to the specified Remote Desktop Protocol port and determines if it speaks RDP. When available, the Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) protocol will be used to identify the version of Windows on which the server is running. Enabling the DETECT_NLA option will cause a second connection to be made to the server to identify if Network Level Authentication (NLA) is required.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
