rdp

Stands for Remote Desktop Protocol and runs on port 3389.

To connect, you can use Windows tool or if in Linux, xfreerdp or any other alternative.

xfreerdp /u:htb-student /p:HTB_@cademy_stdnt! /v:10.129.201.55 /timeout:10000

Setting the timeout will help when connection is unstable.

If checking a Windows machine, try first the Administrator user.

You can mount folder over RDP:

xfreerdp /v:10.10.10.132 /d:HTB /u:administrator /p:'Password0@' /drive:linux,/home/plaintext/htb/academy/filetransfer

To access the directory, we can connect to \tsclient\ in the Windows machine.

Enable clipboard: +clipboard, e.g:

xfreerdp /v:10.129.202.146 /u:htb-student_adm /p:Academy_student_DA! +clipboard /timeout:10000
