Does windows remote desktop use secure connection?
Hi,
I heard the remote desktop of windows xp doesn't use secure connection. Although the data is encrypted, the hackers can decrypt it easily. Is it true? What can I do to improve the security? Thanks.

You can research and expand your knowledge. http://www.google.com/search?q=is+Wi...Desktop+secure Maybe use VPN or SSH if you want more security. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Does windows remote desktop use secure connection?
The encryption by itself is strong but some types of RDP connections could
possibly be subject to MIM attack I believe though personaly I believe that is a very very slight possibility particualry for non high value targets. If the target server is running Windows 2003/2008 server you can use TLS via a certificate [that can be self signed] to secure the RDP connection from MIM. VPN endpoints will also improve security.
