UVNC Server. Store strong hash of password

Post by Du10 »

Hello.

I want to use UVNC as main remote control tool in my company, but when I checked the security of storing password - I was horrified. 2 mins of googling and I found tool for fast getting password from uvnc hash. This tool gave me a password just in seccond. And yes, this password was from upper case and lowwer case letters, numbers, and special symbols (like !@#$%^&*())
So the problem is:
- if I will use same password on all user PC's
- if any user will get hash of uvnc password from config file (or from regestry)
= this user will be able to control any other machines, just like admin. File transfer, blocking PC, spying

My question is: is there any other way to store password as strong hash? For example SHA-2

*Use the encryption plugin with a passphrase
or
*Use the encryption plugin with an encryption key, then ony the viewer with the contra key can connect.
