Security Considerations Security Considerations
Session security depends on several factors, including whether the connection you are using to the host is a trusted connection. If it is not, consider whether private or confidential information will be sent and received. A telnet session will transmit user ID, password and other sensitive or private information in an easily readable format.
For maximum security, DO NOT put passwords in the CRT Script dialog or script file. Script dialog information is stored in the CRT configuration file, which may be accessed by other users depending on how open access is to the computer on which CRT is installed.
Maximum security and privacy on the Internet and local networks requires the use of the Secure Shell Protocols (SSH1 and SSH2) supported in SecureCRT.
Encrypted connections are achieved through the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
