Win7 concurrent RDP sessions

Paranoid side of me wants to know, why should we trust this .dll, what is the source of it (who released it, and can we trust it is free of malware/spyware)?
 
The .dll is not a cracked file or anything like that. It comes from microsoft. This is the .dll you get when you setup terminal server for server 2003, server 2008, etc. If you don't trust the site you're downloading from them just scan the hell out of the file. You can only be 99%, not 100% certain of where the file came from because you're downloading it from a third party. If you want to be 100% sure then go buy server 2008.
 
Regardless of where the library comes from it's not a supported configuration and will likely break at some time in the future when you install some update from MS.
 
You do not have to trust any thing. Use a software firewall that alerts you to need processes trying to go out.

Try it on a computer that does not have sensitive data and keep TCPview open to see if there is unexplained connection out. ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx ).

I know it takes time and effort to do the above. On the other hand One can give away all the technology and move to a cave. Then the only trust issues would be the bears. :hmm:

I wouldn't be willing to trust that. TS is buried pretty deep in the Windows system so if the library was altered to include malicious code I'm sure it would be able to hide itself and all of it's open files, connections, etc.
