APP: PCAnywhere Administrator Login
This signature detects a PCAnywhere administrator login. Networks that allow PCAnywhere should use the rulebase to ignore admin login from administration PCs while alerting/blocking them from other sources.
Extended Description
Symantec pcAnywhere is shipped by default with a weak encryption scheme that is used to encrypt username and password transmittal. Therefore, usernames and password can be retrieved by anyone sniffing the network in between the host computer running pcAnywhere and the NT domain controller. Users of pcAnywhere can be authenticated with their NT domain username and password. In this case, the weakly encrypted transmitted authentication would be transmitted domain wide.
Affected Products
