I believe the RDP connection is encrypted (using Diffie-Hellman or |
| 23 |
whatever algorithm Windows likes these days). A quick sniff gets what |
| 24 |
appears to be a key exchange and then a bunch of gobbledy-gook, so I |
| 25 |
think you should be good to go, if you're using RDP (and not VNC). This |
| 26 |
is based on vague recollections, and a quick sniff with wireshark, so, |
| 27 |
please, don't take it as gospel. |
