Password encrypted?
Asked by
A. Denton
When I established a connection from my Xubuntu Host to the Ubuntu 8.04 Server (same LAN) I ran Wireshark to figure out wheter pyNeighborhood sends passwords encrypted or in plain text to authentify and mount a share via CIFS.
The result was that I didn't see my plain password within one of the packets but some strange looking ANSI and UNIX strings (30-40 characters, numbers and uppercase letters). I'd like to know wheter this is some kind of encryption or if there's still a reason to worry when using pyNeighborhood in an untrusty LAN.
Thanks in advance!
