Why not? I don't know of any current exploit for RDP set to high encryption, and even if there were any, connections may very well be shielded by encrypted tunnels.I'm not aware of any currently either, but as their track record proves, that's meaningless.
RDP has been around and used for *years*. Just because Microsoft makes something doesn't inherently mean that it is broken and requiring of a knee-jerk bigoted approach to it.
RDP can be tunneled thru SSH as well and has much better performance than VNC (don't know about Radmin).This may very well be true. I'm not up to par as much as I'd like on RDP, although I'm quite well learned on VNC and such. TightVNC has some of the best compression I've ever seen on a remote control app, I've used TightVNC through Dial-up many a times without delay or a problem. I'd love to see RDP perform the same feat.
Um, it does. I've done it many, many times. And RAdmin is garbage as far as what it does to the machine on which it's running unless you remember to crank down its refresh rate to a near-nonexistent level.
But I digress. Again, I very well could be wrong about RDP. I've always leaned towards other remote control programs due to problems that usually arises with proprietary programs. (I've been using a form of WinVNC since before RDP was even thought of.)
Don't be too sure- do you know where RDP came from? With that said, I think it's time for you to take a look at it before making what you admit are biased statements about it. Never comment on something you've not used is usually a good approach, I find. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
