How do I know encryption is on?

Post by sherman.boyd »

I set up SC as prescribed, generated a new key, added it to the zip etc. How do I know the encryption is working?

If you add an rc4.key to the zip does it require encryption or does it just use it if it can?

Do I need to give the viewer further command line options to tell it to use the MSRC4 plugin and where to find the key?

SC connected vncviewer
title bar or/and status windows or connection info
Clicking "Show Status Window" in UltraVNC Viewer
should reveal a window stating a line like:
"Status: Connected(MS RC4 NoReg Plugin-v1.2.2.0)"
indicating that the plugin is actually in use.

it just use it if it can.

place rc4.key and msrc4plugin.dsm and vncviewer on same folder, and vncviewer can load the msrc4pluging and the rc4.key

"%programfiles%\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -dsmplugin msrc4plugin.dsm -listen
