Re: Remote Desktop Protocol

Hi Philip,
RDP is encrypted, but that's no defence against keyloggers and anything that
might have compromised any admin accounts.
You can set all computers to require a digitally signed connection.
In your position I would:
- make long, complex and frequently changed password for built-in
Administrator and service accounts
- use smarcard for any accounts with admin privileges

Hi, my name is Philip and iam a domain admin.
In my work there's an hostile environment, and i truly believe that some
tools are being using, such as sniffers (linux) and keyloggers.
Is remote desktop, secure enough against these tools, while managing the
AD?
If i transfer text from my workstation to the server, is this also encrypt
by the rdp?
Can I use administrative tools, in my desktop, without compromise the
information?

Tks in advance

Philip
