In a recent press release [1] the USDT said "According to the Department of Justice, LockBit has targeted over 2,500 victims worldwide". Now finding 7k decryption keys gives us a more realistic view on the insane problem ransomware has become and how many companies pay without publicy declaring a security incident.

>> This gives you and RDP session with no software install needed. The use case of guacamole is accessing a system from anywhere without needing your ssh keys, RDP, or VNC software. If you're happy doing any of those directly, adding a middle man doesn't add any value.

The point is that I'm not happy to do this directly, for various reasons. I don't want to open up any ports that get forwarded to my LAN for remote desktop, and I want to be able to access LAN clients from machines behind a proxy that just blocks anything but http/https traffic. That's why I looked into Guacamole.

Maybe RDP connections work better with guacamole, compared to VNC, but I don't have any windows machines I want to remote into, so that's of no value to me.

Try Xrdp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xrdp

I use it on a bunch of Ubuntu 18.04 systems, works out of the box with apache guacamole.
