So... I ran across this application today that allows users to build Virtual Private Networks via a utility that looks very much like Windows/Yahoo messenger. Essentially, once the application is setup you add "users" and they get connected to a private LAN across the internet. This application works through most firewalls so systems on corporate LANs can become nodes on this network. Interesting stuff but scary from a security perspective.
In their words...
"Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking (VPN) application.
In other words Hamachi is a program that allows you to arrange multiple computers into their own secure network just as if they were connected by a physical network cable.
Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. Its core version is also free."
