RDPThief Tool

RDPThief steals cleartext credentials from RDP clients.  See an
excellent writeup on the tool at
https://www.mdsec.co.uk/2019/11/rdpthief-extracting-clear-text-credentials-from-remote-desktop-clients/
.

You can download the tool from the link at the end of the article. They
have a nice video that shows the tool in action.  If you use RDP to/from
any domain joined computer, you run the risk of exposing your domain
credentials.

Just an FYI.
