Description

This module attempts to connect to the specified Remote Desktop Protocol port
and determines if it speaks RDP.

When available, the Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) protocol will be used to identify the
version of Windows on which the server is running. Enabling the DETECT_NLA option will cause a second
connection to be made to the server to identify if Network Level Authentication (NLA) is required.
