World of VNC
- sebtoast 10y agoBrowsing those are fun. I wonder what that is http://i.imgur.com/c796ANj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/c796ANj.jpg
- bluedino 10y ago>> I found 3567 servers that were unprotected. That's pretty low for scanning the whole internet. Either VNC isn't used that much or I was simply expecting 10 times as many servers.
- iancarroll 10y agoUnprotected VNC servers != all VNC servers, or even weak VNC servers. You could probably brute force into a lot more, but that's definitely illegal.
- allthetime 10y agoI run an unprotected VNC server at home, but its not open to the world because I'm using a router that doesn't expose local ports, like most people.
- achillean 10y agoIt is low, Shodan has found more than 10,000 VNC that have disabled authentication: https://www.shodan.io/search?query=rfb+authentication+disabled https://www.shodan.io/search?query=rfb+authentication+disabl... And there are roughly 550,000 VNC servers on the Internet: https://www.shodan.io/search?query=rfb https://www.shodan.io/search?query=rfb

- api 10y agoSooooo many of these look so disturbingly like industrial process control... and this is on the HN front page... I think some people are gonna have a bad day.
- dang 10y agoWe had a major thread about something similar a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11367666 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11367666. Is this story significantly different?
- nacs 10y agoThis site is actually up (unlike the roulette one) and seems to also show IPs (I don't think the previous one showed IPs).
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- vhold 10y agoGeezus he included the hostnames and IPs? This is so insanely irresponsible.
- bradbeattie 10y agoCould be worse: http://www.insecam.org/ http://www.insecam.org/
- lisivka 10y agoNice one: http://www.insecam.org/en/view/257447/ http://www.insecam.org/en/view/257447/
- sushisource 10y agoI'd argue it's responsible. Security through obscurity is no security at all.
- stirner 10y agoAvoiding security through obscurity is a topic for people in the crypto industry. Random people with misconfigured VNC servers most likely aren't computer experts, and revealing their addresses is pointless and irresponsible. Yes, maybe making this information public will cause them to fix their configuration. More likely, they will just be attacked.
- drakmail 10y agoAfter disabling an adblock have several new tabs with mackeeper site opened =( Turned adblock on again
- sosuke 10y agoYeah I saw the "please disabled adblocker message" with a cute cat. I then thought about what the site was doing and I decided to keep it on and close out the site instead.
- worldofvnc 10y agoNot every ad network accepts my website. If you think my project is cool, please donate by using bitcoin or PayPal. Link is on the homepage. Your support (with or without donation) is greatly appreciated!

- eric_h 10y agoHa! I wonder if whomever was using that VNC session had an "oh shit" moment there.
- nom 10y agoThat one is really weird: https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=1107 https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=1107 I got no clue so far.. but so many questions!
- paulojreis 10y agoNow, that's an ode to the Internet of (Shitty) Things (https://twitter.com/internetofshit?lang=en https://twitter.com/internetofshit?lang=en).
- illumin8 10y agoHere's a really funny one: https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=440 https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=440 I wonder whether anyone connected and upgraded him to Windows 10...
- varjag 10y agoThis is terrifying. So many live systems, from CNC lathes through den feeders and boiler controllers to entire city water treatment facilities..
- gherkin0 10y agoI like this one: https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=2677 https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=2677 It looks like the LCD display of some embedded system, something I would have never expected to see over VNC.
- listic 10y agoAn industrial controller: https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=981 https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=981
- varjag 10y agohttps://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=2113 https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=2113 judging by the tab names, some Russian botnet HQ.
- trhway 10y agoi think it is obligatory to mention that Intel CPUs (which have vPro enabled, ie. Xeons and some others) have VNC server built-in on the chip.
- achtung666 10y agohttps://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=177 https://worldofvnc.net/browse.php?id=177 I just hope it's not what it looks like
- tux3 10y agoI'm interested to see that they only found 3567 open servers, whereas a scan I have from a couple years ago shows 7573 entries. Now is it just a difference in scanned ports or a genuine improvement in security, I can't tell, but I can only hope.
- achillean 10y agoTheir numbers are too low. Shodan has found closer to 12,000 servers that have disabled authentication.
