I dont think you can get the cleartext from the password. The file which does the job of authenticating is d3des.c file in the source code.
The way it works on the vnc is server sends a challenge to client ->16 bytes client reads the challenget and then encyrpt it with the password and send back the response. Server knows the challenge it sent and then compare it with what it expects -----Original Message----- From: Alex K. Angelopoulos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 9:06 AM To: VNC Mailing List Subject: vncpasswd for Windows I asked about this over the weekend and didn't get a response at the time (it *is* an oddball question). I'm looking for some info on implementing an equivalent of the Unix vncpasswd on Windows. I can't seem to port the Unix version very easily, even with substantial changes, probably due to my limited knowledge of C/C++. I'm a little curious about the actual algorithm used for the DES3 encryption; I have also found a *decryption* scheme which works on Windows, but I am having issues with un-reversing it and would find it much easier if anyone can point out some basic info on how the encryption process is done. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
