sessions

ts::sessions can be used to list the current RDP sessions. It comes in handy for RDP hijacking.

Upon executing ts::sessions the following users are identified to be connected over RDP:

  • hacklab\m3g9tr0n (Session: 3 - RDP-Tcp#4)

  • hacklab\Administrator (Session: *4 - RDP-Tcp#5)

The asterisk on the Session: *4 - RDP-Tcp#5** **indicates the user via whom the ts::sessions is executed.

Another interesting thing to pay attention is the lock field (It can be leveraged for RDP lateral movement). When a user has his/her monitor locked, then the following will be displayed:
