System.RemoteConnect [u"]

Post by micnda »

Hi I'm new to eventghost but seem to have it working to some degree. I run into a weird sat some time were eventghost logs System.RemoteConnect [u"] then System.RemoteDisconnect [u"]. It sometimes logs this 60 times in a row. Can anyone tell me what causes this is message. As far as I know I'm not trying to connect to any system and I don't think any of my plug-ins are.

Plugins:
Directory Watcher
XBMC2
Growl
ScheduleGhost

eventghost 0.4.1.r1640

XBMC Gotham.

That's interesting, I've never seen.
However, it's not hard to find an explanation.
This is the interpretation of system messages, related to Remote Desktop:
WM_WTSSESSION_CHANGE message
RemoteConnect corresponds WTS_REMOTE_CONNECT.

Hello micnda,

that sounds like failed RDP log ons - could it be that you opened the RDP port on your firewall/router to access your PC from the internet?
You have to know that there are a lot bots out there just trying to connect to random IP addresses using brute-force attacks.

Thanks for the reply's. I'm not currently using RDP but I checked my router and a port was open for RDP. I've closed this and I'll see if this helps. It may have been coincidence but this seem to happen every time I used the ScheduleGhost to trigger an event. I'll give it a couple of days an see how it goes. That's for the advise.

I have the same issue, but i don't use scheduleghost. I wonder what is causing it, i believe my router is open to allow me to remote connect. Is there anyway to suppress the message?

Hi

Anyone have any idea how to suppress these messages? I use remote desktop but even when its not in use, i get hundreds of these messages filling up my log.

EDIT: if anyone else stumbles this way and is having trouble with this taking up all the logging, you can comment out the trigger in this file:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\System\SessionChangeNotifier.py" and comment out "self.TriggerEvent(eventstring, [userName])" at the very bottom of the file.

Ive only had it commented out for a little bit so ill comment back here if that doesnt work
