Securing Remote Desktop (RDP) access

[Marius]

Where can I locate the guidelines to make RDP access to XP boxes as secure

as possible against possible intrusions, operating either on the XP boxes

and on the firewall?

You can use non-standard TCP port for RDP. You can change the default 3389 in

the registry.

This way you set an extra hurdle to pass while trying to crack it. For

someone who doesn't know that there is RDP enabled, it will appear that it is

disabled.
