Yes, its unencrypted so it sends traffic in plain text. If you have a well managed network you can run it internally behind the firewall. NEVER run it accross the net unless you are going to encrypt it. On 1/22/06, Jared Lyvers <jared () lewiscommunications com> wrote:
First off, sorry Simon. I ment to send this to the list but sent it to only you instead. Now, on to my real question. I'm looking to use VNC on my windows machine for remote logins. Currently I only have the following open ports: 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 113/tcp closed auth 1352/tcp open lotusnotes 5902/tcp open vnc-2 5903/tcp open vnc-3 8080/tcp open http-proxy Are there any security problems that I may be over looking by using VNC on my machine?
