## What it is
SharpRDP is a C# console application that executes authenticated commands on remote Windows hosts via the Remote Desktop Protocol, using the RDP ActiveX client library. It supports credential-based logon, restricted admin mode, pass-the-hash contexts, and elevated execution through the Run dialog or Task Manager.

## Use cases
- execute commands on remote windows hosts via rdp
- lateral movement with rdp during penetration tests
- run a program on a target machine with domain credentials
- use restricted admin mode rdp without credentials
- execute elevated commands remotely through task manager
- remote command execution over rdp from a beacon

## When to choose
- you need authenticated remote command execution over RDP on Windows targets
- you are performing red team lateral movement and want to avoid WinRM/SMB paths
- the target has restricted admin mode enabled and you want current-user-context execution

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose remote administration tool rather than an offensive utility
- your targets are non-Windows or lack RDP access
- you need stealth-free, fully supported enterprise remote execution

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, penetration-testing
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cli, dotnet
