RDP Vulnerabilities Scanner
Identifies RDP security issues including BlueKeep.
What is RDP Vulnerabilities?
RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) vulnerability testing identifies security issues in Windows remote access: BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708), DejaBlue, weak authentication, NLA bypass, CredSSP vulnerabilities, and brute force susceptibility. RDP is heavily targeted due to widespread exposure and critical access it provides.
Why is This Important?
RDP exposed to the internet is constantly attacked. BlueKeep allows wormable remote code execution. Weak credentials enable unauthorized access. RDP compromise gives attackers full desktop access for ransomware deployment, data theft, or establishing persistent access. Ransomware gangs actively scan for RDP.
How It Works
1. Network Discovery
Scans and fingerprints network services, identifying open ports, protocols, and service versions.
2. Protocol Analysis
Tests protocol implementations for misconfigurations, weak encryption, and known vulnerabilities.
3. Infrastructure Assessment
Provides comprehensive network security posture with prioritized remediation recommendations.
Key Capabilities
Enterprise network security assessment covering infrastructure, protocols, and service configurations.
- Comprehensive port and service discovery
- Protocol-specific vulnerability checks
- TLS/SSL configuration analysis
- Legacy protocol detection and assessment
- Network segmentation validation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BlueKeep and am I vulnerable?
BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708) is a wormable pre-authentication RCE in RDP. Affects: Windows 7, Server 2008/2008 R2, XP, Server 2003. Patched May 2019. Test with: nmap --script rdp-vuln-ms12-020. Enable NLA as mitigation if patching isn't immediate.
How do attackers exploit exposed RDP?
Attack methods: brute forcing credentials (often successful with weak passwords), exploiting BlueKeep/DejaBlue for RCE, man-in-the-middle for credential theft, and exploiting session hijacking. Once in, attackers deploy ransomware, exfiltrate data, or establish persistence.
Should I expose RDP to the internet?
No. RDP should never be directly internet-accessible. Use: VPN before RDP, RD Gateway with MFA, Azure AD Proxy, or cloud-native remote access solutions. If exposure is required, use NLA, strong passwords, account lockout, and network-level restrictions.
What RDP hardening should I implement?
Essential hardening: enable NLA (Network Level Authentication), use strong/unique passwords, implement account lockout, restrict RDP access to specific users, enable RDP logging, use RD Gateway for internet access, deploy MFA, and keep systems patched. Consider RDP timeout settings and session limits.
