[Gotakar]

Same problem.

When the servers will back?

[Rudi De Vos]

As fast as possible, but it depend on the isp.

I have been trying to generate a config myself, without success.

Would it be possible to get the source code of the sc generator so that i can do it offline? if you have some sort of offline binary that would be cool too

Best regards,

JC

The generator just make a 7zip sfx file.
You need 7zip
http://www.7-zip.org/

1) download
http://www.uvnc.com/custom.zip
2) http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload9.pl
select the zip, user foo passwd foobar
3) download custom.exe

You now can open the exe ( this is actual a 7zip sfx) with 7zip and extract to a folder.

You now can make all changes to the helpdesk.txt and test it by running winvnc.exe
When all settings are ok, open 7zip, add all files select create sfx

There exist also a 7zip sfx maker project, they just added some GUI to create the sfx
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sfx-maker/

The icon insite the exe is changed with a resource tool
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

Code: Select all

7z a -mx=9 -t7z UltraVncSC.7z winvnc.exe rc4.key MSRC4Plugin.dsm helpdesk.txt icon1.ico icon2.ico logo.bmp background.bmp enter.bmp
copy /b UltraVnc.sfx + config.txt + UltraVncSC.7z UltraVncSC.exe

UltraVncSC.7z=7zip sfx extractor (default name=7z.sfx)
config.txt

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
Title="UltraVnc"
RunProgram="winvnc.exe"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Thank you Rudi.

I have been playing around with 7zip sfx and winvnc(SCII) that is available as a separate download as a workaround for the failure in gettin a propperly generated SC from the perl script.

I found a curious detail: winvnc behaves differently with the presence of the dlls and only presents the SC gui if they are present falling back to simple standard vnc server when they are not.

I did not realise that the user and password that you need to use on that web interface http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload9.pl was actually the one that you provided as i was trying to get it working with another credentials because i thought that it was some kind of credential that was going to be bundled with SC. As it turns out it's just some security measure you implemented on the perl script usage.

Anyway, that mistake made me dive into some basic of understanding on how SC works by trying out some things and going through the forum

The sc online generator is not working. I selected the zip file to upload but the page does not issue the download links. Thanks.

Any idea about when the binaries on the page will be replaced with newer versions? Most Windows 10 PCs are having a hard time getting anything through...

[jolvos]

First of all, thank you very much for your tools.

And second... Are online creator tools working? I mean, I've tested the "Experimental June 2015 win8 win10", and it seemed to work... Until yesterday.

I've even tried to upload a zip that was just the "vanilla custom" file (no folder in the middle, ofc) and still no luck. Also the plain "helpdesk.txt" alone zipped and also fails.

[Rudi De Vos]

temp folder was running out of space... cleanup should fix it

Just tested last sc online creator method "May 2018 win10" here. It worked but only with unsecure msrc4plugin. Contained files in my zip-file like ClientAuth.pubkey and SecureVNCPlugin will be ignored. Is it possible to use the more secure plugin with online creator?

Second question: Whats the benefit using online creator then local creation? Local created executable are not signed, so most security suites have problems with my file. Therefore online creator would be the better way. Am I right?

[Rudi De Vos]

Indeed, the online creator sign the file.

Because we sign it, you can not upload exe, dsm or dll
You can only add the config, icon, bmp.

msrc4plugin is also secure, it only use a smaller key.

msrc4plugin make use of the buildin MS encryption -> no export restrictions
SecureVNCPlugin use openssl -> could be restricted

Hi, I tried "May 2018 win10" online creator but it runs without admin rights on start, also it show max 11 connection before scrollbar is visable.

In "June 2015 win8 win10" it runs with admin rights and show max 13 connection before scrollbar is visable.

Could you please make additional version, with admin rights prompts + 13 connection on list before scrollbar show?

[Rudi De Vos]

Added the admin right start, that's something on the website that needed to be set.

The max number is something in the code. I will change it next time i make a sc update.
