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.
