IronRDP is a modular Rust implementation of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), providing PDU codecs, connection/session state machines, virtual channels, and image codecs. Its sans-I/O, no_std-compatible core powers native, WebAssembly, and .NET clients, servers, and proxies.

Use cases

• build an RDP client in Rust
• implement a remote desktop server for Windows hosts
• write an RDP proxy or gateway
• run remote desktop in the browser via WebAssembly
• parse and write .rdp connection files
• add clipboard and device redirection to a remote desktop app

When to choose

• you need a security-focused, fuzzed RDP protocol implementation
• you want a composable library rather than a monolithic client
• you need RDP support across native, WASM, and .NET targets
• you need both client and server RDP roles

When to avoid

• you just want a ready-to-use graphical RDP client application
• your project is not in Rust, WASM, or .NET
• you need protocols other than RDP such as VNC or SSH
