+<h2>Security Consideration for Remote Agent Control</h2>
+
+<p>
+ The ports and connections opened in <code>tcpserver</code> and
+ <code>tcpclient</code> mode do not provide any authentication mechanism. If
+ you run JaCoCo on production systems make sure that no untrusted sources have
+ access to the TCP server port, or JaCoCo TCP clients only connect to trusted
+ targets. Otherwise internal information of the application might be revealed
+ or DOS attacks are possible.
