Goal

This document explains how to secure Remote Desktop (RDP) on Windows Server.

Remote Desktop Protocol is a protocol by which Terminal Service provides desktop level access to a remote user. It can be used to remotely log in and interact with a Windows machine. Since RDP transfers sensitive information about the user and the system, it can be configured to use encryption to provide privacy and integrity for its sessions.

If an attacker has access to the network traffic with RDP sessions using weak encryption methods it's possible to brute force the encryption parameters and compromise privacy of the RDP session.
