G+_Ben Cunliffe (superblit Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Padre, i work at a company that uses Remote Desktop a lot: Communicator, Windows RDP, a program i only know as SCCM (access computer using IP and can type in UAC credentials) and Webex. So on our network we support Windows and Macs. With Macs we can only see a users computer and we cannot interact with either OS if they are not on the domain, so therefore we are trying to solve issues blind. My question is what would be a decent RD program the company can buy or license, that will allow us to connect to a computer off the network (but still has internet connection) and will allow us to interact with OS x from windows computers?

G+_Ben Cunliffe (superblit Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Dameware is good, but if I remember correctly the computer has to be on the domain correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ben Reese Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm a fan of VNC because it's an open standard, free, and cross platform. I don't think it's super secure on its own, but SSH or VPN could be used to secure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Tyger Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 In a business windows environment, I use UltraVNC. It is a variant of VNC that allows windows group based authentication. It's still open source. It can also provide a web based Java applet for non-windows client machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 UltraVNC is my preferred variant too. I don't remember which one was used (not UVNC), but one had the password pretty easily accessible and stored unencrypted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Anyhow... A prior employer was using the service and I decided to go snooping during a break. It didn't take long before I was able to remotely control most of the computers in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Tyger Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yea.. that default vnc password is still an issue. I wish they'd store it in the registry as a seeded hash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 UVNC doesn't have that, does it? It's been a while since I checked. It was stored in registry, just not hashed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
