is there such a thing as a vnc standalone server?

[clivebuckwheat]

I know there is a vnc standalone view executable where nothing needs to be installed you just run a exe.

Is there such a thing out there as a vnc or ultravnc standalone server where you can run an exe and connect to a machine without having to install anything?

All vnc server binaries i know, will need at least some registry entries (to set at least the dafault password). But i've seen automated vnc server installations, which would install and set the default password.

There is also tightvnc portable that might answer to your need. Ultravnc might also work as a portable app : see this post.

Hi Clive,

Google "vnc standalone server" with or without the quotes and be prepared to read for a bit, 4th one down might help...

What are you up to Clive, I do pentesting and computer security work for company's.

There is always a client and a server so to speak...

It is possible to set the server or client in a stealthy manner the first time and then from there on out nothing needs to be installed.

If you were going at it from a different angle you could just find something that works with what they already have and not have to

install but you would have to execute cmds on their side to at least initiate things, even a small packet crafted properly would get thing going. I would think about it.... and then forget it, but then I always think the worst due to my background.

If you could be a lot more specific it would be easier to answer your question.

Hope that helps

Don't know of an standalone server piece off the top of my head but there are many portable VNC viewers. Here for starters:

I am looking for a vnc standalone server, because occasionally sysprep crashes when we re-imaging machines, and I have to manually visit each machine to run a batch file I wrote to get past the sysprep crash. I tried using remote desktop but it didn't work as I had hope when a sysprep crash occurs.

If you want to use remote desktop, you can enable it easily from a remote computer using remote registry:

- you need to connect to the registry of the computer (launch regedit then "connect to remote registry" and enter the ip or the computer name).

- go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" and modify the value "fDenyTSConnections" to 0 (it should be set to 1 by default).

- you can now use remote desktop.

You could even script it easily if you wanted.

Hi Clive,

You seem legit to me. Click the link below which will take you to a Google search. The second link down looked like what you are describing.

Next time detail means something more like... "I ran sysprep along with xml I wrote and forgot a bracket... error is______, blue screened or computer keeps cycling... having trouble getting to a cmdline to execute batch file... when I try RDP I get this... etc...."

"A wrench can be used to fix things or bludgeon someone to death" There are lots of different ways to fix your problem we just don't know exactly in detail enough to give you a proper answer...

Googled PushVNC Read 2nd link down as you seem fond of VNC

This second link is for getting to RDP when stuck, an executable that was part of another product. It was mentioned over at GoogleCode as having saved the Admins bacon many times.

I didn't look at it, but sounds like what Allen2 was talking about.

RDPRemoteEnabler

I have tried to stay away from direct links to products being sold etc... Mod's please let me know if I'm doing this wrong.

Hope that helps
