There are a number of measures you can take to mitigate the risk of running
an internet-exposed VNC server..
1. Make absolutely certain you are running the most current version. Older
versions, even one x.x.1 older, are known to contain severe security flaws.
2. Ensure you have a strong password.
Good Night Users!
I am writing with one question.
I am a new user in VNC (server and viewer).
I have a network builted with a Windows Server 2003 Machine and 8 more pcs,
with Windows (XP and 98) and Linux Ubuntu. I was wondering to use the same
tecnology of Remote Desktop from Microsoft with VN

Hello, VNC users!
Also, I would like to ask you a question...
You were talking about logs that logs the connection that you were
talking about in the recent posting.
I went to My Computer, Program Files, RealVNC, VNC4 folders to enter and
looked for *.log but I only got a few files that are
Hello, VNC Users!
I would like to ask you a question.
I tried using IE 6.0 and VNC viewer to VNC over to my home computer from
outside of my home, I was able to connect to my cable's IP address, I

I'm actually using [EMAIL PROTECTED] on my PC, so I'm not sure that this problem
applies to RealVNC. Let me know if I should go away (preferrably to an
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list, if there is one), but I have been on this list for more
than 8 years and I like it!
The problem is that when I connec
Hi,
I am rewording my question to better my chance of getting a reply -
"Is there a way (without having to modify/rebuild the vncserver and
viewer) to customize the message that the vncserver sends back to the
user in case the vncserver rejects the connection."
Thanks.

We have turned off all our VNC servers and turn it on only on a need basis. I
still have to take a look at the connection logs ... I'll do that and let you
know if I find anything. I believe I need to check the application logs in
event viewer.

Anytime this happens, my first reaction would be to unplug the network
cable, backup my data and REFORMAT. You can no longer guarantee the
integrity of the system. Your box has been owned. There have been a

Hello Ritu,
I'm glad you talked about this issue! I have EXACTLY the same problem!
I have to check my vnc version, i think it's previously to the 4.1.2. also it's
the free edition. I also had kaspersky anti-virus and outpost firewall.
Also, I have an app called htthost running in my machine and
Have you tried changing the password?
vnc server lets you see the list of vnc viewers connected to it. I think if
you right click on the vnc icon in the system tray (of the XP machine) you can
find the option. the next time it happens you can find out the ip from which
the connection is made.

Does anyone have physical access to the XP box? In Windows the display
shown by VNC is the same display shown on the monitor. So if a monitor
is connected to the box, all your actions can be seen and the kbd/mouse
attached to the box can be used for input.

I know for sure that no one is physically typing those commands on the remote

I have VNC server 4.1.2 installed on a remote machine running XP. I have used
it for a few months and it has worked great. But recently, whenever I connect
to this machine using the VNC Client, after sometime, it seems like someone
else sneaks in and starts running the command prompt. I have to
