Hello. I have question concerning windows mapped drives.
I have a setup that involves a privately addressed,
internal windows host (10.x.x.x) mapping a drive to a
windows server that resides off of a less-secure (but not
the Internet) interface on a six-port firewall. Barring
that the server is hardened and updated and the ACLs in
the firewall allow the connection from the internal host
to the server (stateful firewall) and not vice versa, are
we opening up any risks in the direction from the server
to the internal host because of the mapped drive? Thanks.
