Security Basics: Re: remote administration via hidden shares

[Andreas Schubert <andreas.schubert () mathema de>]

On a Windows box use something like

net use x: \\host\c$ /user:domain\user

and have a domain admin account (and all computers in that domain). If you are
not using domains, you will need a local admin account to connect (and domain
is the computer name in that case)
