Protecting your computer from unauthorized access
 |
Radmin Server possesses the following mechanisms for protecting user privacy:
- All data is transferred using strong 256-bit AES encryption.
- For the user authentication and session key setup Diffie-Hellman based key exchange with 2048 bit key size is used. A password is never transmitted between a local and remote computer.
- A highly secure, self-testing code that makes it nearly impossible to modify the program’s executable file.
- Either password security or Windows security is used. It is impossible to connect to Radmin Server without a password or Windows security rights.
- Passwords for connections are not saved, so they cannot be stolen.
- The list of saved user IDs and passwords (in hash form) is protected on the server side, so only the remote computer’s administrator can access it.
- There are special built-in delays that prevent attempts to guess a password (so-called ‘brute-force attacks’ or ‘dictionary attacks’).
- You can configure the IP filter to allow connections only from specified IP addresses.
- You can configure Radmin Server to request the remote computer’s user permissions for each incoming connection.
- Connection attempts can be recorded in an event log and/or text file.
Radmin Server has numerous built-in security functions, but the safest practice is to make sure that a password is sufficiently complex (not something like “111111″ that can be guessed on the first attempt) and that it is not stored in an easily accessible location. Refer to the ‘Safety tips‘ section for more tips.
