Security

zugbruecke is notoriously insecure by design.

• DO NOT run it on any system directly exposed to the internet! Have a firewall on at all times!

• DO NOT run untrusted code (or DLLs)!

• DO NOT use zugbruecke for any security related tasks such as encryption, decryption, authentication and handling of keys or passwords!

• DO NOT drive any physical hardware with it unless you keep it under constant supervision!

• DO NOT run it with root / super users privileges!

The following problems also directly apply to zugbruecke:

• Wine can in fact theoretically run (some) Windows malware.

• NEVER run Wine as root! See FAQ at WineHQ for details.

zugbruecke does not actively prohibit its use with root privileges.
