Video Description

Public Wi-Fi is one of the easiest ways hackers gain access to personal devices. In this live lab demo, we show how an attacker can break into a Windows PC using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), even without knowing the username or password. Using Hydra and wordlists from SecLists, we walk through the full process: scanning the network, brute-forcing login credentials, and gaining full remote access. This video is for educational and awareness purposes only. ▬▬ Tools Used ▬▬ - Kali Linux: Attacker machine - Windows 10 : Victim machine with RDP enabled - Hydra: Brute-force attack tool - SecLists : Username and password lists - Nmap: Network scanning tool - xfreerdp3: RDP client for Linux ▬▬ ⏱️ Chapters ▬▬ 00:00 Prologue 00:28 Setup: Attacker and Victim 01:52 Scanning the Network with Nmap 04:12 Preparing Hydra with SecLists 09:27 Running the Brute-Force Attack 11:14 Successful Login & Remote Access 12:22 How to Protect Against These Attacks #penetrationtesting #rdp #cybersecurity Become a Neurix member https://www.youtube.com/@UCUOlY1VUTHMdkLph5ORHF2Q
