Testing the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP, 3389/tcp ms-wbt-server) during authorized engagements. Covers encryption/NLA fingerprinting and NTLM info with nmap NSE, credential validation and pre/post-auth screenshots with netexec, password brute force (mindful of lockout), pass-the-hash logon with xfreerdp, session hijacking via tscon, RDS shadowing, RDP tunneling, and BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708) / MS12-020 awareness.

# Pentesting RDP (port 3389)
## When to Use
- During authorized assessments when TCP 3389 (ms-wbt-server) is open
- When fingerprinting the security layer (native RDP, TLS, CredSSP/NLA) and whether NLA is enforced
- When validating recovered credentials or NT hashes against RDP
- When you already hold a foothold and want to hijack or shadow an active session
- When assessing for BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708) or MS12-020 on legacy hosts
## Quick Enumeration
```bash
# Encryption, DoS (MS12-020 safe check), and NTLM Windows info
