you brute force realvnc by getting the password from the registry and
plugging it into cain and abel. or you just use the recent
vulnerability for realvnc - are they up to date on patches?

I have a machine running RDP, RealVNC and PcAnywhere.
I have successfully brute-forced RDP using TSgrinder. However, I did not have the same success against RealVNC and

Here is the error message I got when bruteforcing PcAnywhere.

How do I bruteforce RealVNC? It has no user correct? Would appreciate any feedback as I got no response from THC when I 
sent a query. Thanks.
