Kali Linux Desktop with RDP




Hello friends, In this blog we will see how we can use Kali Linux Desktop or any other Linux distribution like Ubuntu, Debian with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). 

RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol is developed by Microsoft and it is used for accessing Graphical User Interface (GUI) remotely from another PC. 




Installation :

Here I am using Kali Linux but same method can be used for any Debian based Linux distro

First we need to install tigervnc and xrdp, execute following to do it

sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server xrdp 

Next we need to modify xrdp.ini, 

nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

change 'port=-1' to 'port=5901' and save the file

Now we will start xrdp service

sudo service xrdp start

Make sure that xrdp is running

sudo service xrdp status

Now start vncserver 

vncserver -xstartup /usr/bin/startxfce4

Here I am using xfce desktop, if you use different Desktop Environment then change '/usr/bin/startxfce4' to you desktop environment path.

Now open RDP Client and create a new connection with <your IP>:3389

Change Xorg to Xvnc and login with your username and VNC password.
