Windows Terminal Service Enabled |
||
|
Connects to the remote terminal server Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The Terminal Services are enabled on the remote host. Description : Terminal Services permit a Windows user to remotely obtain a graphical login (and therefore act as a local user on the remote host). If a possible hacker gains a valid login and password, he may be able to use this service to gain further access on the remote host. A possible hacker may also use this service to mount a dictionary attack against the remote host to try to log in remotely. Note that RDP (the Remote Desktop Protocol) is vulnerable to Man-in-the-middle attacks, making it easy for attackers to steal the credentials of legitimates users by impersonating the Windows server. Solution : Disable the Terminal Services if you do not use them, and do not permit this service to run across the internet Network Security Threat Level: None / CVSS Base Score : 0 (AV:R/AC:L/Au:NR/C:N/A:N/I:N/B:N) Networks Security ID: 3099, 7258 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2002 Renaud Deraison |
