Dameware - Eavesdropping to easy

[DracKewl]

What do I need to do to prevent Eavesdropping on remote
computers without users permissions? This Dameware makes
it too easy to Netork Administrators.

well, first you get rid of the network administrators. then you get each
computer on the network it's own connection to the internet, its just too
easy to monitor traffic through a central router. then you get everyone a
secure proxy account like anonymizer.com provides so their surfing is
'private'. then you get rid of your central mail server and get everyone
separate accounts on something like hushmail or some other secure encrypted
mail service. and oh yeah, you get rid of your file server and any central
printers since its too hard to make them private, get everyone their own big
disk and encrypt them with their own keys with no recovery agent so no one
can snoop... and a local printer so no one can watch what they print... and
don't forget the shredders. of course by then the company probably couldn't
function any more or would already be bankrupt so your last step is to print
your resume on your personal private printer and pack up your desk cause you
just lost your free surfing 'privileges'.

DAMN...why didn't I think of that! LOL
I actually found a different way around this issue, but
It only works for DameWare.
Basically I can push the "Remote Client Agent" to all the
PCs in the domain, in the properties I can make it so the
user must "Accept" or "Decline". How you do it is write
to Registry (On the Client Side). Even if the software
is pushed remotely it will not overwtite the reg settings.

But ya, this is crazy. I was just looking on the web and
there are some pretty slick tools out there to make
office hacks dangerious!
