jimmyfiend Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 How safe is it to run VNC? Is there any security detailing in need to do? Restric its access etc Password protect? Any info would be great guys. Also the show is great, just pimped through half the back catalogue this morning, very very good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melodic Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 welcome to hak.5 =) i suggest that if this VNC is going to be used over the internet i would say password protect. but if its on your own lan it isnt very important.. you could go through a few settings to optimise... i would reconmend TightVNC though :) hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingwray Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 u need an ssh server running on both machines...obviously Server running on one of the machines, client used on the other. This was all covered in one of the episodes of Hak.5. SSH tunnelling is your safest method as without it, it can be fairly trivial to sniff the passwords.
