Summary

Try to log in with given passwords via VNC protocol.

Insight

Insight

This script tries to authenticate to a VNC server with the passwords set in the password preference. It will also test and report if no authentication / password is required at all. Note: Some VNC servers have a blacklisting scheme that blocks IP addresses after five unsuccessful connection attempts for a period of time. The script will abort the brute force attack if it encounters that it gets blocked. Note as well that passwords can be max. 8 characters long.

Solution

Solution

Change the password to something hard to guess or enable password protection at all.
