A new interesting piece of software has popped up on Steam’s Greenlight which may prove to be a useful download. The software is called Ulterius and it allows users to access their computer remotely through any web browser.
If you were ever away from your home and needed access to something valuable on your computer, Ulterius would allow users to pop on any web browser and gain remote access to their PC. From there, they could send the desired item through email or copy information down. There are a few aspects that are already giving this software some attention.
For starters, Ulterius is completely free and is even open-sourced so the technology built can be further tweaked and enhanced as time goes on. Likewise, there are plenty of security measures in place to protect your information.
The development team over at Ulterius lined up exactly how they deal with security over on their official blog. Through the post, we learned that none of the data will pass through their servers, but will instead use SSL and AES encryption technologies when it passes through your ISP.
“Unlike certain remote management apps, with Ulterius, none of your data ever passes by our servers. This means that if we ever suffer a security breach (it happens to the best of ’em) your computer will remain completely unharmed and inaccessible to the attackers. For that matter, you wouldn’t even be aware that it happened!
Although we at Octopodal may never know about it, your data still has to pass through (at least) your ISP. Ulterius uses standard SSL and AES encryption technologies to ensure that no one between your two devices can look at your data.”
While Ulterius is available free for download right now, it could gain more attention and widespread use if available through Steam. If this sounds like a piece of software you wouldn’t mind trying out yourself, then perhaps you would vote on the Steam page here.
