Using Hydra to Attack Windows Remote Desktop (RDP)

Posted on January 5, 2022September 19, 2023 by wp_writer

Hey all and welcome back to my channel! In this lab I will show you how to perform a basic Nmap port scan against a Windows 10 host to assess for any open RDP ports. We will then user a popular tool installed on Kali Linux called Hydra, to attack and brute force the username and password of the RDP account on the Windows machine. I will also show you how to setup a lock out security policy on the Windows machine to help prevent these types of brute force attacks, and discuss a few alternative mitigation techniques, such as using a firewall, VPN and strong passwords.

As always, this is for educational purposes ONLY, so please don’t try any of these tools or techniques outside of your lab environment, unless you have the explicit permission of the system owner do perform such penetration tests.

I Hope that you enjoy this video, and if you do it would be much appreciated if you like and subscribe!
