You audit on two fronts, look at the systems for the controling application<s> required to use it and you look for connections to their server<s>: Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.gotomypc.com Address: 63.251.224.169 Non-authoritative answer: Name: gotomypc.com Address: 63.251.224.169 And if one wants to be a tad more careful in what they block perhaps a whole class C: [jengate.thur.de] Process query: '63.251.224.169' Query recognized as IP. Querying whois.arin.net:43 with whois. InterNAP Network Services (NETBLK-NETBLK-PNAP-11-99) NETBLK-PNAP-11-99 63.251.0.0 - 63.251.255.255 Expertcity.com (NETBLK-PNAP-SFJ-EXPERT-RM-01) PNAP-SFJ-EXPERT-RM-01 63.251.224.0 - 63.251.224.255 Admittedly I have not investigated any more then a mild look to determine if all their server<s> are contained within this netblock. But, this is not unmanageable. And certainly should be covered in the security policy and the corporate AUP. Thanks, Ron DuFresne On Fri, 8 Mar 2002, kevin mckay wrote:
Has anybody dealt with the services from https://www.gotomypc.com it seems to allow end users to completely circumvent an existing network security infrastructure. The user signs up with gotomypc and establishes a out bound connection through the firewall to a go to my pc server, then there server listens for a connection that is connected to your internal network and the scariest thing is that the listining ports for inbound connections are on a gotomypcserver so how would you even audit?. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
