[Owasp-leaders] OWASP for Charities: plea for tech experience

[McGovern, James F. (P+C Technology)]

If the admins are familiar with administering windows via command line,
you could stand up an SSHD windows service where they can use tools such
as Putty to connect with.

Hi all, 

As part of the OWASP for Charities project, I've been helping out a
handful of charities with various logistical errors they are facing. One
I'm struggling with, is that of a decent remote administration tool for
workers in the field. Initially I suggested using IntelliAdmin remote
desktop. Two issues have risen with using it in 3rd world countries:

- it's not so easy to adapt the security (LAN firewall, Windows
firewall,
Anti-virus firewall) because the IP identified as the remote controller
is
not (or not always) the public IP of the remote firewall. 

- it's not very much optimised for low bandwidth: taking control of a
computer in the field can take ages - you even ask yourself if the
contact
has been lost.


Would you mind forwarding this email to your various chapters and asking
if anyone has any experience with remote desktop solutions that work
well with slower connections? They are all Windows-based machines.


Appreciate the help, thanks all


Daniel
