Remotely Control Any Computer in The World Using TeamViewer
TeamViewer is a good program to quickly share desktops with another user. The free version will let you create secure sessions and control what you show to your contact over the internet.
Some time ago i was looking for a software which is able to establish a connection to another pc through internet. Many different remote access softwares exist, but not all are equally fast, reliable, and secure. I found an amazing software "Teamviewer" which lets you remote control, desktop sharing and file transfer that works behind any firewall and NAT proxy. This software has amazing features like file transfer, presentation, remote support, vpn. The best of all is that this software provides remote support. When you try to help your friends with problems in their computer via phone or instant messaging most of the times they don't understand what you are saying and you need to spend precious time explaining them. Using this software you can fix any computer connected to the internet just by sitting in front of your computer. You just have to install this software on your system and ask the people on the other side to install the same and tell u the ID and password. Once you enter the id and password you will be able to connect to their system. People on the other side can watch what you are doing on their computer screen and can learn how to fix the problem themselves if it happens again. You can also record sessions and play them back afterward. These can then be used as tutorials or to go back on what you've done in previous sessions. The login id and password will be valid only for one session.
Here are some key features of TeamViewer:
* Remote Control without Installation
With TeamViewer you can remotely control any PC anywhere on the Internet. No installation is required, just run the application on both sides and connect - even through tight firewalls.
* Remote Presentation of Products, Solutions and Services
The second TeamViewer mode allows you to present your desktop to a partner. Show your demos, products and presentations over the Internet within seconds - live from your screen.
* File Transfer
TeamViewer comes with integrated file transfer that allows you to copy files and folders from and to a remote partner - which also works behind firewalls
* Works behind Firewalls
The major difficulties in using remote control software are firewalls and blocked ports, as well as NAT routing for local IP addresses.
If you use TeamViewer you don't have to worry about firewalls: TeamViewer will find a route to your partner.
* Highest Security Standard
TeamViewer is a very secure solution. The commercial TeamViewer versions feature completely secure data channels with key exchange and RC4 session encoding, the same security standard used by https/SSL.
* No Installation Required
To install TeamViewer no admin rights are required. Just run the software and off you go...
* High Performance
Optimized for connections over LANs AND the Internet, TeamViewer features automatic bandwidth-based quality selection for optimized use on any connection.
* Very Competitively Priced, Free Versions available
TeamViewer offers a lot of value for low prices, there even is a free version for non-commercial use available.
TeamViewer
Softwares like TeamViewer can be easyly used for hacking. Imagine that this is something like a Trojan (This isn't exactly a Trojan), a Trojan installs on the victims computer without his knowledge and runs in the background which gives you access to his computer. This software proves that hacking is not impossible. Anyway i'll explain about this way of hacking in some other post.
