Hey Jared,

From the ports that you've got open it seems that this will be either a mail or web server, so I'm guessing that this is going to placed in a DMZ of sorts?
What VNC will you be using and what sort of AUTH will it be using, password, RSA, Windows login credentials? I wouldn't advise running a VNC server on a public NIC at all, what if you slap another NIC into the box, and then set up a way to VPN into it from that side?


I have no idea on your setup though, HTH.

First off, sorry Simon. I ment to send this to the list but sent it to

Now, on to my real question.

I'm looking to use VNC on my windows machine for remote logins. Currently
I only have the following open ports:


25/tcp   open   smtp
80/tcp   open   http
113/tcp  closed auth
1352/tcp open   lotusnotes
5902/tcp open   vnc-2
5903/tcp open   vnc-3
8080/tcp open   http-proxy

Are there any security problems that I may be over looking by using VNC on
my machine?


Regards,

JL
