M$ Remote De$ktop

Steenhuys:
My friends, let's have a look at this, wich I found at MicroSoft's Web$ite:

 
quote:
Do you want to remotely access your computer so you can work with all your data and applications while away from your desk?
Remote Desktop, a feature found only in Windows XP Professional, lets you set up your computer for connection from any other Windows-based computer. Leave a file at home? Don't want to lug a laptop around? Remote Desktop gives you access to your computer from virtually anywhere.
From: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/whichxp.asp

--- End quote ---


Now, I'm not familiar with Micro$soft products, and I'm especially unfamiliar with XP, but I am curious: Is this feature (?) as unsafe as it sounds??

Sincerely,
Steenhuys

Yes, it is. It's incredibly easy to grab packets from it. Nothing is encrypted either. It would be too damn slow if it had to encrypt every piece of data that went though there.
