Hi, I made a small patch to the vncviewer part of the remote access software vnc, which runs uner a great number of platforms. With this patch applied, the vncviewer turns into a neat dictionary based remote cracker. The fun with vnc is that the password is 8 characters or smaller, and that vnc has no concept of users, which brings down the number of possibilities to try. The patch can be downloaded at http://www.pine.nl/~patrick/tmp/vnc-crack.patch, and should be applied to the vncviewer directory of the vnc source tree. It is based on vnc-3.3.3r1_unixsrc.tgz which can be downloaded at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/. It's crude and ugly but it works.
