Hi Everyone,

I was doing an audit of some systems and managed to
penetrate into the NT domain. 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_protection_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
