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.
