Re: PCAnywhere Info

["Bluefish (P.Magnusson)" <11a () GMX NET>]

One such product (I'm fairly sure it was PCAnyware, but not 100%) was
discussed priviously in... bugtraq I think, long ago. The product had a
unecrypted or badly encrypted session mode, and a more secure one. Only
the problem was the first mode was easier to use and according to many,
defacto standard among the users.

Personly, I'd question how appropriate it is to use a product which is
very much based upon propriatery protocolls and with unknown amount of
inspection by security expertice.

What I'd like to see is the SSH1 or SSH2 protocoll to be implemented for
the windows enviroment (and other none-unixes). Obviously the code should
be open source and the main coders be experienced windows & security
programmers, otherwise it doesn't really matter what protocoll they use
(if the application itself is insecure)

You might see me release such an application in the year 2032 or something
like that ;-)
