New Version of Radmin

The new Radmin 3.0 is the latest version of the remote control software from Famatech Corporation whose security and protection feature is frequently referred to as paranoid on security-related online forums.

Facing long security lines while traveling, coupled with the fear of relinquishing a laptop containing sensitive documents to the whims of careless baggage-handlers, means both corporate and individual users are wise to have a back-up plan. Homeland security officials are asking airline passengers to pack their laptops in checked bags to expedite the inspection process. However, with the new Radmin 3.0, a traveler can swiftly pass through to their departure gate and leave their computer safely at home or in the office - and connect to all its information using any remote computer.

Radmin 3.0 features:

• a Diffie-Hellman based key exchange with 2048 bit key size, data integrity protection and randomly generated key for each connection make authorization immune to any kind of attack
  
• Radmin Server does not save a password instead it saves the password hash that is used for authorization
  
• if Radmin Security is selected, Radmin Server provides support for user profiles. Each user is securely identified by user name and password. Each user can have access rights that are configured for different connection types.
  
• all transferred data is protected using 256-bit AES encryption
  
• delays prevent online attempts to guess a password
  
• can be configured to allow connections only from specified IP addresses
  
• can be configured to ask a remote user to confirm the connection
  
• protects its configuration from unauthorized changes
  
• must be configured to use either Windows security or username and password protection. It is impossible to configure Radmin Server for public access without a password or activating Windows authentication
  
• self-testing code that makes it impossible to modify the programs executable files
  
• logs connection attempts into a system event log or text file
