Remote Desktop Protocol flaw can lead to DOS and crashed servers
Computerworld News notes Microsoft warns of remote access protocol flaw. "Microsoft is warning users that a flaw in the software used to remotely access computers running the Windows OS could leave them vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack." This is the RDP flaw I blogged last week. Affected machine include Win2K as well. It appears that scanning for the affected port is on the increase, too, according to the Internet Storm Center. I'm advising clients to turn off port 3389 at the firewall, and only enable it (via ssh, for example) when needed.

Hi all,Curious - what do you all prefer when you need to 'reach out and touch someone' remotely?For years I was in love with VNC; my latest job uses Radmin, which is made by Famatech. To be honest, this Radmin app is great - it's encrypted, and has a much snappier refresh than VNC - I was forced to use it through Verizon's National Access internet a few times (peak 144k, avg speed +/- 70k), and to my surprise it worked like a champ on such little bandwidth.In addition, it starts as a service, and can hook in with WinNT permissions, making the administration of who gets access very simple.What do you guys use?--I like things.
