NMAP NSE that enumerates VNC authentication types

Nmap VNC Authentication Scanner Steve Ocepek [email protected]

INTRODUCTION

Use this Nmap script to quickly determine the types of authentication supported by each targeted VNC server. Particularly useful when probing large environments for servers that do not require authentication.

Features include:

  • Exceptional speed, thanks to the Nmap Scripting Engine.
  • Support for all official authentication types
  • Support for both 3.3 and 3.8+ protocol versions
  • Runs wherever Nmap can run (Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, etc)

INSTALLATION

Simply copy the file to your local Nmap scripts directory, or the local directory from which Nmap is being executed. An example, though this path will vary between operating systems and distributions:

/usr/local/share/nmap/scripts/

USAGE

Call the script using the --script Nmap argument.

Example:

nmap -P0 --script=vnc-auth.nse -p 5900 192.168.2.166

Each discovered VNC server will be listed with its supported security type(s):

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-10-28 13:32 EDT Interesting ports on 192.168.2.166: PORT STATE SERVICE 5900/tcp open vnc |_ vnc-auth: RFB 003.008, Security Types: 02(VNC Authentication)

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.14 seconds
