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.

        Patrick
