# Rdpcmd

Execute commands on Windows via RDP. Helps if you need to run commands on large number of hosts. It is using remmina and xdotool to execute commands.

## Installation

Quick installation:

```
sudo apt-get install xdotool remmina
gem install rdpcmd
remmina # just to generate global secret
rdpcmd --help # you'll find your way further
```

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'rdpcmd'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rdpcmd

## Usage

Run whoami on 192.168.1.1 and wait 5 seconds after:

```
rdpcmd -u user -p password -i 192.168.1.1 -c 'whoami' -x 3
```

Enable WinRM on 192.168.1.1 and wait 5 seconds to finish winrm quikconfig before exiting terminal:

```
rdpcmd -u user -p password -i 192.168.1.1 -e -c 'winrm quickconfig -quiet -force' -x 5
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).

## Known Limitations

Since it is Proof of Concept (PoC), it have some limitations (pull requests are welcome!):

* You have to match keyboard layout (or command you type will differ from what is typed on RDP session)
* Don't use it from untrusted inputs (google 'command injection' and how scary it is)
* Does not handle errors well (connection failure, wrong credentials, etc)
* Will not report if it fails
* You have to play with timeouts/sleeps if you have slow network or host targets
