But who said I am not on your network ? What if I penetrated your AAA server, or, some other server on your network ?well your not. and if you were, i'm pretty well screwed! altho having said that, my network doesnt allow you to hop between machines.. but maybe you compromised my security? okay, i'm screwed again!
Security is generally not an all-or-nothing game. Most script kiddies have enough skill to run a prefab'd exploit on your IIS server; some have enough skill to inject trojan ARP entries and use tcpdump; but far fewer have the ability to decrypt ssh packets (although new tools are making this easier). In cases where ssh is an option, why not use it? -- Bob <melange () yip org> | Yes. I know. That is, indeed, *not* mayonnaise.
