VNC Alternatives. Need better encryption

[typhoon43]

Hi gang,
looking for something to replace our current WinVNC installs on client machines. We're getting drilled on our security audits for "weak password encryption".

We have around 200 machines. Would PC Anywhere be the best bet? RAdmin? We'll be starting from scratch but the MAIN concern is that passwords and/or the actual session traffic is encrypted.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dameware?

 

[XOR != OR]

ultravnc has encryption, might want to start there.

Remote desktop is encrypted, right? Might not work on all the computers.

If you have XPp on all the rigs...RD

For VNC flavors, I prefer Ultra VNC...it can be set to authenticate to Windows, local and domain users groups...

as well as supporting some Encryption plugins...

RealVNC does 128 AES. Sounds pretty secure to me, other than the NSA seeing everything.

Yeah but if the NSA is eyeing you you've got bigger problems.

Anyone know how strong the XP Remote Desktop encryption is?

128 bit RC4 for high encryption. Use TLS for authentication for more security.

RealVNC enterprise is good as well - http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise/

Set up your network to only allow IPSec connections, then no matter what you use its encrypted.
