Since when has Terminal Services been encrypted? Which algorithm do they use? I think you should have checked that first. -- Terminal Services sessions have always been encrypted. And I didn't need to "check it first", I already knew it was encrypted :). From the "RDP Features and Performance Guide" at microsoft.com Every version of RDP uses RSA Security’s RC4 cipher, a stream cipher designed to efficiently encrypt small amounts of varying size data. RC4 is designed for secure communications over networks, and is also used in protocols such as SSL, which encrypts traffic to and from secure Web sites. In Windows 2000, administrators can choose to encrypt the data using a 56- or 128-bit key. Encryption is bi-directional except when using the ‘low’ security setting that only encrypts data from the client to the server (which protects sensitive information such as passwords). The default setting is “medium” which uses a 56-bit key to bi-directionally encrypt the data. 128-bit encryption can be enabled after installing the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack. - Eric
