First, securing VNC (or anything) is a process, not a matter of simply
using some program or other. Several parties to this list have pointed
out other aspects besides securing the communication stream that are known
to be points of attack; for example, VNC's use of the windows registry to
store
No, the only visible change to WinVNC is to listen on port 6000+n for
secure connections. It doesn't tweak with the registry usage or
other options. The intent was to be completely backward compatible,
which necessarily doesn't permit fixing perceived problems with the
current practices.

Just a reminder to those concerned about the inherent insecurity
of VNC protocols ( and those who would recommend tunneling with SSH )
I've produced a version of VNCViewer and WinVNC which automatically
use a secure connection. I've got lots of users and no complaints:

I've built a new VNC branch which embeds the encryption and tunneling
from ZeBeDee directly in the VNC server and client. The new server

I'm working on a project to integrate zebedee secure tunneling into
VNC client and server. Instead of
vnc server <> zebedee server <> zebedee client <> vnc client
it will be possible to run
zeevnc server <> zebedee client <> vnc client
or vnc server <> zebedee server <>
Tunneling works with VNC, but isn't a really satisfactory
solution for several reasons.
(1) it's a pain to set up initially,
(2) even if used properly, the insecure VNC port is still open.
(3) using a tunnel server opens another point of attack on the host
machine: for example, ZeBeDee's
I just discovered http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~smcpeak/SafeTP/
It's a free, secure, and completely transparent FTP proxy. The method
is similar to SSH tunneling, but easier to set up. The same methods
could be used to build a transparent VNC proxy which would encrypt
all VNC traffic.
