I think that would probably be useless. What kind of LAN are you doing to be using this on, just your home network?
You are at basically no risk. |

RDP uses 128-bit RC4 encryption by default.

There's a PDF paper here that looks at the RDP encryption details. The short answer is it's vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, of the sort you could expect to experience on a wireless LAN or after an ARP poisoning attack.
I use RDP over the Internet all the time, but always through an SSH tunnel or a secure VPN ala Cisco. Come to think of it, the same guidance applies to VNC as well. |

That's the key, we use it all the time for spot remote admin tasks, but only through a VPN. |

Depending on your needs openvpn is really excellent. Fairly easy to setup if you know networking. Instead of forwarding individual ports it creates a virtual network adapter. I use it for keeping persistent links to remote machines, friends and parents network, and to access my windows networks at home when I'm on the road. -Foxxz |
