Do not debug an unknown process on a remote machine: there are potential exploits that might affect the machine running the debugger, or that might compromise msvsmon.exe, the Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor. If you absolutely must debug an unknown process, try debugging locally, and use a firewall to keep any potential threats localized.

### Web Services Debugging Security
5454
It is safer to debug locally, but since you probably do not have [!INCLUDE[vsprvs](../code-quality/includes/vsprvs_md.md)] installed on the web server, local debugging might not be practical. Generally, debugging Web services is done remotely, except during development, so the recommendations for remote debugging security also apply to Web services debugging. Here are some additional best practices. For more information, see [Debugging XML Web Services](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/c900b137-9fbd-4f59-91b5-9c2c6ce06f00).
