Re: Encrypted communication over named pipes?

Hi Mike,

I was afraid of such an answer, but I was expecting it, as most of the MS Tools communicate unencrypted.

Well I think in that case I will concentrate on integrating a Diffie Hellman key-exchange and encryption on application-layer, cause IPSec isn't a real Option for me.

Hi Chris,

Actually no I don't recall anything about encryption for named pipes or CIFS. I think IPSec is used in this scenario.

Hi,

I just finished my latest tool that allows me to remote-control a cmd-window on allmost any Windows machine. Now I am thinking of ways to secure the connection. One thing I found relatively anoying with Sysinternals PSExec was that communication was handled unencrypted and input as well as server responses were transmitted in plain text.

Is there a way to encrypt the named pipe communication? I was thinking about implementing a symmetric encryption channel simply encoding what I send in and decrypt what I get out, but I wanted to avoid having to implement the key negotiation logic. So is there allready something available?

Chris
