Some of the images seems just fake. It's unlikely to have vnc running on the MBR: http://vncroulette.com/images/84.201.34.211.jpg http://vncroulette.com/images

Yeah could be a vm fullscreen but have anyone thought this could be just random screenshots stolen from somewhere? I can make up a very nice story about a flying spaghetti monster given google images index.
- kbuck 11y agoVMware has a built-in VNC server on both ESX and their desktop virtualization products.[1] If you don't configure a password to connect, no password is required.

- chungy 11y agoQEMU and VirtualBox have VNC servers too. Can be a handy feature. Why this would be exposed to the public Internet, I have no idea. Maybe some poor soul was doing this in a combination of being directly plugged in, no NAT/router in the way, and lack of or weak OS-side firewall. Speaking of NAT, IPv6 might make these things even riskier, but I hope most people are running a firewall on their OS. The built-in ones on Windows, Mac, Linux should all do fine.
