Hello, Using Sub7 for remote administration is like using TNT to clean out your drain.
You can add ACL/filters to your firewall to contain the traffic. But, what do you do internally? I wouldn't count on the authentication it provides. I haven't checked but I doubt it is anything other than clear text. What do you do with your anti-virus solution. If you don't have one that picks this up then you've wasted your money. You also need to consider the legalities of association, i.e. your management (or another party) are concerned with your activities or job performance and find you have a Trojan installed. Great excuse. You're history. It is kind of like using Hunt to monitor sessions. The reputation of Sub7 isn't exactly quite like that of SATAN, nmap, or Nessus. Jeffrey L.
