It's only exploitable from the machines on the same hamachi network as the box it's set up on, but if those are just random computers out on the internet, then I guess it's possible that someone could break in easily. Running hamachi doesn't completely open up the box, though. It only creates a tunnel between it and the other machines on the same hamachi network. Only those machines can get in without opening up ports. Yeah, that is one problem with it, I guess.

It *is* pretty neat, but as soon as I realized that I could connect to my internal network without opening a port on my firewall, I got really scared of the possibility that someone will set this up on an unsecured box behind our work firewall and WHAMMO! Instant zero-conf exploitable box. I just installed Hamachi.

Previously, the layout and all the code was hacked up all over the place and almost unmanageable. If that's not the situation for you, then I don't know.

Sure, it probably would've been much better 3 years ago, but somethings take time to think up. Anyways, here's my idea - <a href="http://phillybits.blogspot.com/2006/03/george-bush-presidential-job-approval.html" rel="nofollow">The George Bush Presidential Job Approval Terror Threat Indicator</a> Is a script based on presidential approval ratings even possible?
