Perl script to enumerate security settings of an RDP Service (AKA Terminal Services)
- Support for targets file
- Support for saving the tool output to a specified logfile
- Control over the connection and responses timeouts
- Control over the number of retries when timeouts occurs
rdp-sec-check is a Perl script to enumerate the different security settings of an remote destktop service (AKA Terminal Services).
It does not require authentication, only network connectivity to TCP port 3389.
It can determine many (though not quite all) of the security settings from the RDP-Tcp Properties | General tab:
- Check which security layers are supported by the service: Standard RDP Security, TLSv1.0, CredSSP
- For Standard RDP Security it detects the level of encryption supported: 40-bit, 56-bit, 128-bit, FIPS
The following potential security issues are flagged if present:
- The service supports Standard RDP Security – rhis is known to be vulnerable to an active “Man-In-The-Middle” attack
- The service supports weak encryption (40-bit or 56-bit)
- The service does not mandate Network Level Authentication (NLA) - NLA can help to prevent certain types of Denial of Service attack
- The service supports FIPS encryption but doesn’t mandate it – may only be interesting for jurisdictions where FIPS is required
rdp-sec-check is a simple Perl script that requires one module from CPAN. Run cpan as root then install the Encoding::BER module:
# cpan
cpan[1]> install Encoding::BER
