rdpsign: Sign an RDP file using a specific sha256 hash.
$ rdpsign ${path\to\file-rdp} /sha265 ${hash}
try on your machine

The command you provided is likely used in a Windows environment and is used to digitally sign a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • rdpsign: This is the name of the command-line tool used for RDP file signing.
  • ${path\to\file-rdp}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the RDP file you want to sign. You need to replace it with the correct file path.
  • /sha256: This flag specifies the algorithm to use for generating the digital hash signature. In this case, it is SHA-256. Hash algorithms ensure the integrity and authenticity of the file.
  • ${hash}: This is another placeholder representing the hash value that you need to provide. The hash value is derived from the file you are signing through the specified algorithm (/sha256 in this case).

To use this command, you would replace ${path\to\file-rdp} with the actual path to your RDP file, and ${hash} with the calculated hash value. The command digitally signs the RDP file by associating the hash value with it.
