incoming connection to Winvnc .. is my VNC compromised ?

Post by ruckb »

Hello,
I have UltraVNC 1.2.0.1 (guess installed just recently) running on my machine. In addition I have the comodo Firewall installed.
I'm using UltraVNC since a long time .. but today I got the first time a message from my Comodo that there is an incoming connection from the net to my Winvnc.

the souce is IP 82.14.71.157.
I did a tracert on this one with the following result:

tracert 82.14.71.157
Routenverfolgung zu cpc14-pete9-2-0-cust156.4-4.cable.virginm.net [82.14.71.157] über maximal 30 Abschnitte:

Now I'm very much concerned that my vnc is compromised ..
did anybody have a similar connection seen ?

Thanks for any feedback ..

Post by Rudi De Vos »

Use the encryption plugins... special when you are direct connected to the internet.
Using the plugins you can set a longer password or use a predefined key.
( Both server + viewer need to have the same key)
There is nothing you can do to prevent people to try to access your system.
If you have RDP.... you see about 50/min people trying to access your system.
The only thing you can do is to make sure your password is big enough or using an extra key.

Hi Rudi,

thanks for the hints ..
I have two routers (due to current Internet setup), but both are configured via port forwarding.
Normally I have configured some "Slaves" for NVC access with the encryption plugins .. but the master was without ..
Guess this is daily business these days :-(
Any chance to avoid these Scans (but still allowing me to connect via internet ..) ?

Hello,

I made a fresh install, but i don't find a mslogon.log in this directory.
Any idea where this would be stored, or why it's not generated ?

thanks and regards
