What alternatives exist to send remote commands to a server?

Note the connection must be secure such that the server cannot be controlled by any person apart from those provided access.

Thanks for the advice.

There are a number of possible solutions including -

  • An HTTPS site with client side authentication.
  • Via an email framework triggered with PGP encapsulated messages
  • Using anything suitably secured and based on stunnel.
  • C&C server style using encrypted IRC
  • Using regular unencrypted protocols (including telnet or nc) over a suitably secured VPN.

Ultimately if for almost any way any 2 machines to talk to each other, you can secure it and then put a framework in place to execute commands across it.
