Windows Gather Remote Desktop Connection Manager Saved Password Extraction
Description
This module extracts and decrypts saved Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) passwords the .RDG files of users. The module will attempt to find the files configured for all users on the target system. Passwords for managed hosts are encrypted by default. In order for decryption of these passwords to be successful, this module must be executed under the same account as the user which originally encrypted the password. Passwords stored in plain text will be captured and documented.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
