Abstract
The subject application is directed to a system and method for securing remote administrative access to a processing device. Incoming data packets, including source data, destination data, and a data portion for administrative control of a processing device are received at a designated port associated with administrative control. Binary mask data defining an address space from which control is acceptable is then received. Binary reference address data representing an address with an address range within the address space is received. A first binary value is generated via a comparison of the reference data and the mask data. A second binary value is generated via a comparison of an incoming data packet and the mask data. The acceptability of the packet is determined based on comparing the first value with the second value. Processing of received administrative control by the processing device is then selectively commenced based on the value comparison.
