Description:
Microsoft Remote Dekstop Protocol uses weak encryption and bad security practise.
It is possible to identify keystrokes, as the checksum is the same for the same keystroke every time it is transmitted, the vulnerabilities are known as "checksum" and "keystroke" vulnerabilities, they have been discussed a lot recently on a theoretical level. This however is an example where such attacks are very likely to be succesful.
The fact that the checksum is the same, allows an attacker to inject keystrokes in a sequence.
