Encrypt Password with CryptProtectData() in Windows

[Xu S. <Gu...@ho...>]

Hi Team,

I downloaded the 2.8.81 source code and found it still encrypted password with DES. Can it be changed to  use CryptProtectData() in Windows? If you are lack of resources, I can do that for the project.

Best wishes,
Samuel

TightVNC's interaction with network communication

[Brian D. <bri...@ne...>]

I am trying to better understand the Technical details of how TightVNC viewer creates and maintains a connection to the TightVNC Server.
Specifically, are there any firewall or network configuration changes made by the software to function?

I have a new windows workstation that is domain joined on the primary network connection.
I am using an OPC Server to communicate to a PLC through a second dedicated ethernet card.

When I connect TightVNC through the primary network to the workstation, the OPC Server write speeds increase 10x.
Yes, for some reason the write performance improves when I maintain a TightVNC connection to the primary network card.  Which is not the one being used by our OPCServer/PLC.

As soon as the TightVNC Session is closed, my write performance drops off immediately.

I am using TightVNC Viewer version 2.8.59

Thank you

TightVNC on embedded system to realize KVM

[Loick P. C. <loi...@ce...>]

Greetings,

I'm currently trying to program a KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) on the digilent Pynq Board.

The system is supposed to be a board linked to a server. And you can connect to the board to access the server as if a VNC server was installed on it.

The programming board is made of two part :
-> A FPGA we use to receive the data from the server and to send what we want to it. It will also be used to improve some steps of treatment of the image. (As far as I have read, there is some steps of the RFB protocol that can be done faster)

-> A Microcontroller with linux on it which is supposed to send and receive information from a remote computer and the FPGA

So, I'm interested about porting tightVNC on the board but I'm not sure if this can be done and what can be the first bit of code to look to modify.

Can you give me you're ideas about this or your advice ?
Also, It might seems dumb but where can I find the source code of TightVNC ?

Many thanks,

PS: I'm sorrry if some of my sentences doesn't seems natural, since English is not my mother tongue
PS2: Also If something about my message isn't clear you can ask.

Fwd: Connecting to TigtVNC service in RDP session

[Ananya B. <ana...@gm...>]

Hi,

We have been using the TightVNC server and we have observed that when run
as a service, the viewer doesn’t connect when the RDP session is in
progress. We found it online that if we run TightVNC server as an
application then it can be used in RDP session. But we need it to work as a
service. More details on the issue are provided below.



*Context*:

               When TightVNC is run as a service and RDP session is in
progress

*Use Case:*

               Viewer connects to the service

*Expected Result:*

               Viewer should connect to the RDP session and RDP session
should be intact.

*Actual Result: *

               Viewer connects but we can just see the login screen (the
current console session).And if we log in then the RDP session is closed.



*Possible Fix:*

I went through the source code and saw that while creating the new process
using CreateProcessAsUser, the access token used is assigned the  current
console session id is used which is obtained via WTS
::getActiveConsoleSessionId(m_log).

I think a possible fix for running TightVNC as a service is to check if any
active RDP session is present and if present assigning the RDP’s session id
to the token to create the process.



Possible way to get the RDP session ID using:


#ifdef _UNICODE
    #define WTSENUMERATESESSIONS "WTSEnumerateSessionsW"
#else
    #define WTSENUMERATESESSIONS "WTSEnumerateSessionsA"
#endif


typedef BOOL(WINAPI *pfWTSENUMERATESESSIONS)(HANDLE hServer, DWORD
Reserved, DWORD Version, PWTS_SESSION_INFO *ppSessionInfo, DWORD *pCount);



DWORD GetRDPSession()
{

DWORD rdp_session_id = 0;

HMODULE hMod = LoadLibrary(_T("wtsapi32.dll"));

if (hMod)
{

pfWTSENUMERATESESSIONS wtsEnum =
(pfWTSENUMERATESESSIONS)GetProcAddress(hMod, WTSENUMERATESESSIONS);

if (wtsEnum )
{

PWTS_SESSION_INFO pwsi = nul lptr;
DWORD dwCount = 0;

if (wtsEnum(WTS_CURRENT_SERVER_HANDLE, 0, 1, &pwsi, &dwCount))
{

for (DWORD i = 0; i < dwCount; i++)
{

if (pwsi[i].State == WTSActive)

{
          StringStorage name(pwsi[i].pWinStationName);
          name.toLowerCase();
          if(name.find(_T("rdp"))!=0)

    {

rdp_session_id = (DWORD) pwsi[i].SessionId;
    }
}

       }
       }

       }
        }
        FreeLibrary(hMod);
        return rdp_session_id;
}


Is this fix ok or do you see any issues because of it?


Thanks,

TightVNC Windows 10 server on headless VM?

[Philippe N. <phi...@co...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to understand the TightVNC source code. I see in /desktop/ that
the Windows server implementation uses Desktop Duplication API to capture
the screen. I am trying to run TightVNC with desktop duplication on an
Azure GPU Windows 10 VM (NC6 type) and I want to capture the screen even
though it is headless. Does TightVNC create a virtual
monitor/display/console anywhere in that server code so that it can work
even though there is no physical monitor?

I tried using desktop duplication API myself on the VM and exiting the
standard Microsoft RDP session and it stops capturing when that happens, so
I'm hoping TightVNC has a way around it. Assuming so, I'm curious if
someone could explain to me how the code does that? I started from
Win32ScreenDriver -> Win8ScreenDriver -> Win8ScreenDriverImpl and so on,
but am not sure which part of the code does this virtual
display/monitor/etc., if any part.

Please let me know,

Philippe

Building TightVNC source code for Windows using VS 2017

[Anurag G. <rag...@gm...>]

I've downloaded the TightVNC Source code for Windows:
https://www.tightvnc.com/download/2.8.11/tightvnc-2.8.11-src-gpl.zip

But I'm unable to build it using Visual Studio 2017.

When I try to build it it is giving err: "This build tools for
v140_xp(Platform Toolset='v140_xp' cannot be found"

Now I've installed these build tools. But still I'm getting this error.

Is there any way to build it in the Visual Studio 2017?

Difference between TightVNC 1.3 and latest TightVNC 2.x viewer rendering

[Sudhir N. <sud...@gm...>]

Hi,
   I had compared the performance of TightVNC 1.3 viewer and TightVNC 2.x
viewer to same device with TightVNC 2.x server on a windows 10 device. I
see a big difference in speed of rendering the updates with latest TightVNC
2.x.

I appreciate TightVNC design and development team for this drastic
difference in rendering the updates. However I would like to understand
what is the major difference factor in design which made this huge
improvement. I had observed that the SetPixelV() API is consuming most of
the time while rendering for old TighVNC 1.3 viewer. However I haven't
explored much of the latest TightVNC code yet and wanted to explore it in
future. I would like to know few pointers in the design and code which is
making the major difference in the  speed of rendering in latest TightVNC
2.x if someone can help me.

Appreciate your response in advance.

Thanks
Sudhir

TightVNC 2.8.8 Installer issue - password not set (and unknown)

[Morozov D. A. <mor...@me...>]

Hello,
At tightvnc-2.8.8-gpl-setup-64bit.msi there is an issue - when you install VNC server to clean PC, you still have 3 radio buttons at Set Passwords step:

*         Do not change

*         Do not use password protection (DANGEROUS!)

*         Require password-based authentication (make sure this box is always checked!)

And (even on clean PC), you can choose 1st option- Do not change.
If you didn't check immediately connection availability - you can drive away and do not have control to that PC after installation.
There is a tick at GUI options but password is not set. Also at Registry there is no Password key, so you asked for password but you cannot connect to PC.
If you untick "Require VNC authentication", then tick again, it will ask to set up password - so that mechanics is not broken.

Previous (2.0 for example) version have different behavior - first you install, then setup password.
It have direct installation way, that required to set up password or disable it.
At my opinion that's better - if you setup password (twice, if count confirmation) - you know it. And if you use any "don't change", you cannot be sure that you know password.

That's better to remove 1st option and simply ask password
OR
check at installation step that you have PASSWORD registry key.

Screen Sharing from PC screen to android

[Aeron I. <aer...@ya...>]

Good day Sir/Ma'am, I'm Aeron Javier Isog and I am a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in the Philippines. I just want to know the tools and concept that the TightVNC used in making screen-sharing  from computer to tablet or android because we are creating a project for our thesis and one of the features of our project is having a screen-share from computer to andriod or tablet but the problem is that we don't have any information on what tools or concept that we will have to used in order to do that. So I'm here together with my group-mates to ask  if you may share those information or what are the things that we were going to consider in making such app. Thank you very much Sir/Ma'am.

Re: 2.8.2 upgrade presents errors on all our win 7 machines

[Constantin K. <co...@gl...>]

Hello Eric,

Actually, we've fixed this problem, and the fixed version (2.8.5) is
available at the TightVNC Web site for more than a week:

  http://www.tightvnc.com/download.php

However, we did not announce this version yet, and actually even the
"What's New" document is not ready. I apologize for this, it's my
personal fault. I tried to improve the process of releasing new
versions, but this work has not been finished and, as a result, thus
we've been having issues with 2.8.x releases. We'll recover the "What's
New" and announces in the nearest days.

I'm sorry that you have to switch to another product.

Unfortunately there was no fix, no response from development, nothing.
We moved to a paid solution “screen connect” that cost a decent amount

I'm having the same exact issue. Running Windows 7.  Have you happen to

Also I will downgrade TightVNC to 2.7.10 on my laptop then this will

while it will automatically upgrade to 2.8.2.

Please tell me you have found a fix?

Sticky Alt Key in Java viewer

[Hans <han...@td...>]

I realize that development is slow, but I wanted to point out that I'm 
having problems with a Sticky Alt key when using the Java Viewer v2.8.2.

I'm using the viewer inside of a Citrix session if that makes any 
difference, but when I use Alt-tab of move between the Java Viewer 
window and other local windows, the Alt key is stuck when I return to 
the VNC session until such a time I press the alt key.

 From the TightVNC change log for beta version 2: "New viewer will reset 
keyboard modifiers to their actual state on restoring keyboard focus. 
That was a long-term problem of the viewer. After leaving the viewer 
window with Alt+Tab and returning to the viewer again, Alt could get 
"stuck" and one would need to press Alt once again to restore correct 
keyboard handling. We've eliminated that problem at last."

Unfortunately the above described fix did not work for me.  Any help 
would be appreciated.

Hi guys,

How are?

I was wondering if you could help me.

I would like to test compresslevel 2 and quality 9 in TightVNC 2.8.2 , the
latest veriosn, but it keeps gewtting error on command line.

-compresslevel 2 
-quality 9

both keywords doesn't work on windows 8,10

-compresslevel level

-quality level

http://www.tightvnc.com/vncviewer.1.php

What's more, where can I specify this on a general config file on tight to
start this configuration on all connections? Always starts with
compresslevel @ 6 and quality @ 6, I would like to change that, on which
file I could edit to achieve that?

Thanks and have a nice day.

IPv6 for TightVNC...

[Volker J. <vol...@fl...>]

Hello,

what are the plans for IPv6? TightVNC is by far the simplest to use and 
best working VNC client. But IPv6 is getting more and more important - 
it should be usable, shouldn't it?

And: Are there any plans regarding sound? VNC is great. But multimedia 
is, too. So TightVNC would be much better if offering the addition of 
transporting sound...

Thanks in advance.

VNC Detection

[Javier F. V. G. <jav...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project to detect when my app is being controlled
remotely. My app cannot run with admin privileges, so installing a driver
is not an option.

I ask you because you are the people developing it so you may know how
different is the input perceived by a remotely controlled up when compared
to a local app.

Is there something (timings, inputs events structure, etc) that could help
me to detect my app is being remotely controlled?

Thanks in advance

Re: TightVNC receiving - Application Blocked by Java Security

[Aaron M. <sim...@gm...>]

Just read that you're administering 100+ workstations.  Clearly adding
all of them to exceptions isn't going to be ideal.

I get around this at my workplace (200+ workstations) with a web page
I wrote that lists all computers from AD and a link that opens the
applet.  You'll need to copy in the jar file and set up the
configuration.  Once done, add the site in question (even if it's
hosted on your machine) to the exceptions list.

Re: TightVNC receiving - Application Blocked by Java Security

[Aaron M. <sim...@gm...>]

Hi

In order for this to work from Java 8 onwards until the Permissions
attribute is added to the manifest in a later version, you'll need to
add the host in question to a list of exceptions under the Security
tab of the Java Control Panel.

TightVNC receiving - Application Blocked by Java Security

[mkrause <mk...@st...>]

Hi, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  We are running
TightVNC 2.0 with 100+ users.  After upgrading to Java version 8, I am no
longer able to connect to users's workstations.  How can this be corrected? 
There is no Medium option under security settings anymore. I've also tried
updating TightVNC to version 2.7 but that does not correct the issue.  

Thanks

Re: applet: missing required permissions mainfest attribute in main jar

[Walrusaurus <yab...@ho...>]

actually, this was surprisingly easy to fix myself. takes about two minutes.

If anyone is keen to know send me an e-mail and I'll outline the few steps.
