Secure connections with Ultr @ VNC

by enxonlin on Feb.21, 2012, under Software

For all directors is very handy to have a remote access to their systems. Ultr @ vnc, which I introduced here, is a great utility with many features, geared to Windows users. The approach is “a la PCAnywhere”, unlike the Windows remote desktop connection. Species may be useful in some cases: for example, when the other side there is someone who should see what we do, or when you want to interact with the shell of Lotus Domino (and do not want to use the live console).
Since Ultr @ vnc allows full access, the security implications must be understood and properly managed.

Ultr @ vnc communicates “clear”, which means that communications are not encrypted by default. In theory, an attacker who had access to communication between a server and a client Ultr @ vnc, might vnc steal session data.
There are two main implications to be considered, using Ultr @ vnc in an environment where security is important:

* Encryption – Encrypted communication make the interception of data much more dificult
* Authentication “strong” – Provides a mechanism to determine with greater certainty (more than just the password), that only authorized clients can connect to the server.
