Yeah, there are Remote Desktop appliactions that will work over HTTP. But
if you think a FW Admin will not spot that traffic over HTTP and know
something is up if you're trying to do this from work to home, you would be
wrong.

You can change the port number of VNC, PCAnywhere and I'm pretty sure
Terminal Services as well. It's a registry hack.

Even if the admin spots the traffic, what will be the issue?

I didn't mention that a web server is running on port 80 so that solutions
doesn't work. It has to go through a gateway. I found teamviewer.com which
might work.

You are compromising the company's network making contact with your home
network that has not been approved and is most likely a non secure
situation. That's the issue. The issue is that you don't have the
authority to do it or they would have given you that authority to make
that contact.

What's so important that you would risk the company's security like that
and possibly put your job in jeopardy?

I have seen employees' severely reprimanded or terminated for such
security breaches. As a matter of fact, I have seen people be terminated
for a far less security breach on the network than what you want to do.

Any FW or Network Security Admin worth his or her beans will spot your
traffic as that is their job with you using a company machine and DHCP IP
linked to the machine on the company's LAN. They know the LAN IP and the
remote WAN IP traffic is going to and coming from by looking at the logs.
And they do review those logs on a routine basis.

I don't believe what you're saying is true technically. When you allow http
traffic on port 80 that's pretty safe under a browser control. You're
talking as if we are opening a direct link between two computers and bad
stuff is going to pass freely from the outside to the inside, which is not
the case. I work for a bank and we allow webex sessions from the outside to
troubleshoot issues. It's pretty safe. You have to go through a third party
gateway.

Check out totalrc.net. It's IMPOSSIBLE to do any harm to the internal
network because it's pure http traffic inside a browser with no ActiveX or
Java or anything installed in the client. Just mappged images that you
click on to do stuff on the remote server. Technically, in my opinion it's
a clever way of doing it with total security.

Firewall admins have port 80 http open. That's the case everyone unless
they don't want users to browse. Are you saying they have it open for ALL
protocols?
