Seth – RDP Man In The Middle Attack Tool: A Practical Demonstration of RDP MiTM Attacks with Seth



SSLsplit is a tool for man-in-the-middle attacks against SSL/TLS encrypted network connections. Connections are transparently intercepted through a network address translation engine and redirected to SSLsplit. SSLsplit terminates SSL/TLS and initiates a new SSL/TLS connection to the original destination address, while logging all data transmitted. SSLsplit is intended to be useful for network forensics and penetration testing.




Seth – RDP Man In The Middle Attack Tool




Implementing a Man-in-the-middle attack can often lead to credential capturing. It is Performing this attack against RDP sessions will allow an attacker to trivially obtain the plain-text password of a domain account for lateral movement purposes. Seth is a tool which can automate RDP Man-in-the-middle attacks regardless if Network Level Authentication (NLA) is enabled. Implementation of this attack requires four parameters:


In a process of performing a penetration test on the Remote Desktop service, after the Nmap scan, it is time to do a Bruteforce Attack. There is a long list of tools that can be used to perform a Bruteforce attack but one of the most reliable tools that can make the job done is Hydra. Although called a Bruteforce, it is more like a dictionary attack. We need to make two dictionaries one with a list of probable usernames and another with a list of probable passwords. The dictionaries are named user.txt and pass.txt. With all this preparation, all that is left is to provide the dictionaries and the IP Address of the target machine to the Hydra to perform a Bruteforce attack on the Login of RDP. We see that a set of credentials was recovered. It is possible to initiate an RDP session using this set of credentials.


As we are familiar with the typical Man-in-the-Middle Attacks that the attacker most likely impersonates the correct authentication mode and the user who is unaware of the switch unknowingly provides the correct credentials. Some other methods and tools can be used to perform this kind of attack but the SETH toolkit is the one that seems elegant. We start with cloning it directly from its GitHub Repository and then installing some pre-requirements.


Seth is a tool written in Python and Bash to MitM RDP connections by attempting to downgrade the connection in order to extract clear text credentials. It was developed to raise awareness and educate about the importance of properly configured RDP connections in the context of pentests, workshops or talks.

Luckily, RDP is encrypted by default through TLS. However, an attacker may still utilize a man in the middle attack to gain RDP credentials. As with any man in the middle attack, the attacker places himself in a broadcast domain shared with either the client or the RDP server.


One such methodology uses a python-based tool called Seth to leverage ARP spoofing to redirect traffic through an RDP proxy. This allows the attacker to downgrade the encryption of the connection and extract clear text credentials.


Remote Desktop attacks are increasing on a yearly basis. There are several RDP attack methodologies utilized by malicious actors today including brute force, man in the middle, and exploitation of vulnerable code.


A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack is one in which the attacker inserts himself in the middle of a connection. It differs from a hijacking attack in that it does not replace the client, but rather acts as a relay between the client and server. Both sides think they are communicating directly with each other, but they are actually doing it through the MITM. The MITM then captures information that might otherwise be encrypted, or manipulates the data in some other way. 2ff7e9595c
