Past Problems & Solutions
|
||
- Everything sent in clear-text, no encryption
|
||
- **solution** encrypt all traffic
|
||
- Weak Host-based authentication
|
||
- Exploitable trust relationships
|
||
- Privileged ports offer little protection
|
||
- **solution** Port forwarding
|
||
- Server is not authenticated
|
||
- Potential Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack Encrypt all traffic
|
||
- **solution** Authenticate both user and server

||
> in old days when you has an open for for mail/internet, anyone could connect
|
