I too am looking for more pen-testing tools for VNC. I am seeing a large amount of uprising in the use of it at different companies. Its recent widespread use has sparked my curiosity in wanting to learn more about it. Please advise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Loki [LoA] loki.loa () subdimension com "A verse from Saint Paul stays with me.

I see that VNC is installed and so I picked up the DES encrypted password from the registry. As per : http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/VNC_3_3_2_R6_uses_a_weak_password_pro tection_mechanism.html My specific questions to you is what tool would you recommend to decrypt this password ? and are there any other ways to attack VNC ? On a more general level, what are the most formidable remote management tools that are out there that you have most difficulty to detect and penetrate ? regards Erica __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
