Cabe lembrar que eu estava enganado. O problema nÃo à o PPTP -- à o 
Microsoft PPTP.

ComparaÃÃo do IPSec com PPTP: 
http://www.linux-mag.com/1999-10/trench_02.html

Trecho da comparaÃÃo:
On the other hand, Microsoft developed its own Point-to-Point Tunneling 
Protocol (PPTP) to do much the same thing as IPSec. They invented their 
own authentication protocol, their own hash functions, and their own 
key-generation algorithm. Every one of these items was badly flawed. 

Counterpane:
According to Mark Chen, CTO of VeriGuard, Inc, a Menlo Park based 
computer security company, "The flaws in this implementation are quite 
amateurish."

Do FAQ:
1. What did Bruce Schneier and Mudge actually do? 
They found security flaws in Microsoft PPTP that allow attacks to sniff 
passwords across the network, [...] They did not find flaws in PPTP, 
only in Microsoft's implementation of it. 

3. How bad is it? 
Very. Microsoft PPTP is very broken, and there's no real way to fix it 
without taking the whole thing down and starting over. [...]

4. Doesn't Microsoft know better? 
You'd think they would. The mistakes they made are not subtle; they're 
"kindergarten cryptographer" mistakes. [...]

6. What's the answer? 
Don't use Microsoft PPTP. [...] Even better, if you are a VPN user, use 
IPSec.
