AnyDesk is a remote desktop application distributed by AnyDesk Software GmbH. The proprietary software program provides platform independent remote access to personal computers and other devices running the host application.[9] It offers remote control, file transfer, and VPN functionality.
Company[edit]
AnyDesk Software GmbH was founded in 2014 in Stuttgart, Germany and has gone worldwide, with subsidiaries in the US and China.[10]
Anydesk Synology Download
If you don’t have time to read: directly open the solution for Synology Outlook calendar synchronization tool. As Synology announced its DSM 3.2 support of running CardDAV CalDAV services on its NAS product line back in Sept. 7, 2011, everyone in various forums and discussion groups rejoiced. While TeamViewer being the topmost choice, Anydesk also provides a good alternative since it is free. In case you are banned by TeamViewer for some reason, try Anydesk. On Raspberry’s web browser, open Anydesk Get Anydesk for Raspberry Pi page. Click on Download Now button under Download Anydesk. Zero-Day Lookup. Antispam Lookup Home. If you've ever visited a website and seen an alarming message stating, 'This site is not secure,' or 'Your connection is not secure,' there are some simple methods for diagnosing the problem, gauging your level of risk, and mitigating any potential security hazards.

In May 2018, AnyDesk secured 6.5 million Euros of funding in a Series A round led by EQT Ventures.[11][12] Another round of investment in January 2020 brings AnyDesk to over 20 million Dollars of combined funding.[13]
Software[edit]
AnyDesk uses a proprietary video codec 'DeskRT' that is designed to allow users to experience higher-quality video and sound transmission while reducing the transmitted amount of data to the minimum.[11]
With its three megabyte total program size, AnyDesk is noted as an especially lightweight application.
Features[edit]
Availability of features is dependent upon the license of the individual user. Some main features include:[14]
- Remote access for multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, etc.)
- Remote Print
- Unattended access
- Whiteboard
- Auto-Discovery (automatic analysis of local network)
- Chat-Function
- REST-API
- Custom-Clients
- Session protocol
- Individual host-server
Security[edit]
AnyDesk uses TLS-1.2 with authenticated encryption. Every connection between AnyDesk-Clients is secured with AES-256. When a direct network connection can be established, the session is endpoint encrypted and its data is not routed through AnyDesk servers.[15] Additionally, whitelisting of incoming connections is possible.[16]
Abuses[edit]
AnyDesk can be optionally installed on computers and smartphones with full administrative permissions, if the user chooses to do so.[17] It therefore should, like all remote desktop applications, be used with caution as it may result in a remote full access to the device via the internet.
Mobile access fraud[edit]

In February 2019, Reserve Bank of India warned of an emerging digital banking fraud, explicitly mentioning AnyDesk as the attack channel.[18] The general scam procedure is as follows: fraudsters get victims to download AnyDesk from the Google Play Store on their mobile phone, usually by mimicking the customer service of legitimate companies. Then, the scammers convince the victim to provide the nine-digit access code and to grant certain permissions.[19] After permissions are obtained and if no other security measures are in place, the scammers usually transfer money using the Indian Unified Payment Interface.[20] A similar scam took place in 2020 according to Kashmir Cyber police.[21]

Bundling with ransomware[edit]
In May 2018, the Japanese cybersecurity firm Trend Micro discovered that cybercriminals bundled a new ransomware variant with AnyDesk, possibly as an evasion tactic masking the true purpose of the ransomware while it performs its encryption routine.[22][23]
Technical support scams[edit]
Anydesk Synology Software
Scammers have been known to use AnyDesk and similar remote desktop software to obtain full access to the victims' computer by impersonating a technical support person.[24][25][26] The victim is asked to download and install AnyDesk and provide the attackers with access. When access is obtained, the attackers can control the computer and move personal files and sensitive data.
In 2017, the UK based ISPTalkTalk banned AnyDesk and similar software from all its networks after scammers cold called victims and talked them into giving access to their computer. The software was removed from the blacklist after setting up a scam warning.[27]
