Security of Take Control

Overview

This article answers the query: How secure is Take Control?

Take Control generates a random password that is encrypted and stored in the local registry.
The encrypted version is then uploaded to the GFI DashBoard - so that even GFI Support does not know the actual password as it is used in the Team Viewer sessions.
All communication between the Agent and the DashBoard is over HTTPS by default.
These passwords are generated per-session, so old '.tvc' files should not allow repeated access to the system.
