Vulnerability discussion

The default Windows configuration enables the option to save the password used to gain access to a remote server using the dial-up networking feature. With this option enabled, an unauthorized user who gains access to a Windows machine would also have access to remote servers with which the machine uses dial-up networking to communicate. Disabling this option will introduce another layer of security and help limit the scope of any security compromise to the local machine.
