RDP Scanner

RDP Vulnerability Scanner

RDP vulnerability scanner, pen testing tool, and lateral-movement validator

Detect RDP vulnerabilities (BlueKeep, DejaBlue, CredSSP, PrintNightmare), weak NLA and encryption configurations, exposed TCP/3389, credential-stuffing exposure, and RDP-driven Active Directory lateral movement paths. Continuous AI pen testing with PCI DSS 11.4, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and CERT-In audit evidence.

How It Works

Four steps. One continuous pen testing loop.

1

Discover Exposed RDP

The RDP vulnerability scanner enumerates external and internal attack surface for TCP/3389 exposure — public IPs, cloud-hosted VMs with security-group misconfiguration, VPN gateways accidentally forwarding RDP, and jump-hosts.

2

Fingerprint RDP Service

Fingerprint the RDP service — version, patch level, Network Level Authentication (NLA) status, encryption level, and known CVE exposure (BlueKeep CVE-2019-0708, DejaBlue CVE-2019-1181/1182, CredSSP CVE-2018-0886, PrintNightmare).

3

Credential & Config Testing

Test for default credentials, weak NLA configuration, exposed admin accounts, lockout-policy bypass, and RDP credential-stuffing exposure. Includes LLMNR / NetBIOS poisoning paths that feed RDP credential capture.

4

Lateral Movement Validation

From an assumed-breach position, validate RDP-driven lateral movement — stolen credentials replayed across RDP endpoints, pass-the-hash via Restricted Admin mode, and Active Directory escalation paths that start with a compromised RDP host.

Key Features

Full RDP vulnerability scanning and pen testing coverage

BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708)

Detection of unpatched RDP services vulnerable to BlueKeep pre-authentication remote code execution

DejaBlue (CVE-2019-1181/1182)

Detection of the DejaBlue RDP RCE vulnerabilities affecting Windows 7, Server 2008/R2, and later patches

CredSSP (CVE-2018-0886)

Testing for the CredSSP MitM vulnerability that affects RDP authentication and credential exposure

PrintNightmare & related

Detection of PrintNightmare and related Print Spooler vulnerabilities frequently exploited post-RDP-compromise

Network Level Authentication (NLA)

Testing of NLA enforcement — RDP services without NLA accept pre-authentication connections and expose the login screen to attackers

Encryption & FIPS Compliance

Validation of RDP encryption level (High, FIPS-compliant), legacy SSL/TLS support, and ciphers acceptable for compliance scopes

Exposed TCP/3389 Enumeration

Full external attack surface scan for TCP/3389 exposure, including non-standard RDP ports and tunnelled RDP via HTTPS gateways

Default & Weak Credentials

Testing for default Administrator credentials, weak passwords on service accounts, and common credential-stuffing exposure

Account Lockout Policy

Validation that account lockout policy actually blocks RDP brute-force — bypasses include slow brute-force, password-spray, and NLA-level bypasses

AD Lateral Movement Chains

Attack-chain analysis from compromised RDP host to domain admin via Kerberoasting, pass-the-hash, Restricted Admin abuse, and ADCS misconfiguration

RDP Gateway & Tunnelling

Testing of RDP Gateway, HTTPS-tunnelled RDP, and VPN-fronted RDP configurations — the alternative exposure paths beyond raw TCP/3389

Related CERT-In / PCI DSS Evidence

Report format aligned to PCI DSS 11.4 external pen testing, CERT-In empanelled audit scope, SOC 2 CC6, and ISO 27001 A.8.20 — direct audit evidence

Benefits

Why teams choose TigerStrike for their security needs

External + Internal RDP Scanning

Covers both external attack surface (public TCP/3389 exposure) and internal network RDP footprint — the complete RDP vulnerability picture that external-only scanners miss.

External + Internal RDP Scanning

CVE-Driven + Config Testing

Combines CVE-based vulnerability detection (BlueKeep, DejaBlue, CredSSP, PrintNightmare) with configuration-level testing (NLA, encryption, lockout policy) — the full RDP vulnerability class rather than just unpatched hosts.

CVE-Driven + Config Testing

RDP Credential Stuffing Detection

Tests for credential-stuffing exposure, weak lockout policies, and account enumeration — the attack class behind most ransomware incidents that start with an exposed RDP server.

RDP Credential Stuffing Detection

Active Directory Chain Analysis

Chains RDP findings into AD attack paths — from a compromised RDP host to domain admin via Kerberoasting, ADCS abuse, or pass-the-hash. The pen testing evidence that drives real remediation.

Active Directory Chain Analysis

Compliance Mapping

RDP pen testing evidence auto-maps to PCI DSS Requirement 11.4, SOC 2 CC6.6/CC6.7, ISO 27001:2022 A.8.20 network security, HIPAA 164.312(e), and CERT-In audit scope.

Compliance Mapping

Continuous RDP Monitoring

Continuous AI pen testing re-tests RDP exposure after every network change, firewall modification, or new VM deployment — catching the config regression that typically precedes a ransomware incident.
