[THIN] Re: Any thoughts about this?

here is my known list of RDP clients.   There are a few Linux clients on
the list but out of them I don't know how many support RDPv6.    Hope it
helps.

Hi Nick,

 

Without a secured front end and SSL encryption it's too much like
leaving your front door open when you leave the house. It doesn't matter
if you've got a good burglar alarm system, it's still not a good idea. 

 

If people can get direct access to a login prompt on one of your TS
systems you're potentially vulnerable regardless of whether it's RDP,
ICA, VNC or whatever.

 

regards,

 

Rick

Interestingly, we've had discussions before about any possible security
implications of doing this and the answer has been 'None known'; on that
basis I've been advising people that they need to tie down their TSes
internally like crazy but that the external bit was secure. Looks like
I'm going to have to revise my advise (Only 5 years late(;).
