Seth is a Python and Bash proof-of-concept tool that performs a man-in-the-middle attack on RDP connections via ARP spoofing, downgrading the connection to extract clear text credentials. It can also inject keystrokes to execute commands on the RDP host.

Use cases

  • demonstrate RDP downgrade attacks in pentests
  • extract clear text credentials from RDP sessions
  • perform ARP spoofing MitM against RDP traffic
  • inject commands on an RDP host via key press events
  • educate about insecure RDP configurations in workshops

When to choose

  • you need a PoC to show RDP credential exposure during an authorized pentest
  • you want to demonstrate why RDP connections must be properly configured
  • you need to combine an RDP proxy with tools like Responder

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose network scanner or full pentest framework
  • you require stealthy or production-grade attack tooling
  • the target uses keyboard layouts other than English US for keystroke injection
  • you lack authorization to test the target network
