You did restrict inbound access to only your work IP address, right?
Of course! That was one of the first things I changed when I opened the PC-Anywhere hole in my firewall! I want to allow me (from the office) to get in, not give anyone on the internet a chance to "knock at my door".
I also have the PC-Anywhere "patched up" (using their "Live Update"), and PC-Anywhere is also setup to require strong encryption and a username/password. And once that is entered, a "hacker" would probably still need to know my desktop password (which isn't easy to guess) to unlock my Win2K desktop (just connecting with PC-Anywhere doesn't give you many rights, until the desktop is also "unlocked"). I'm sure this isn't "fool proof" (given a sophisticated enough "hacker"), but it should stop your average "script kiddie" in their tracks.... |
