I use TightVNC behind my home LAN, but am open to alternative (free) suggestions.
Many’s the time that I have wished that I could have remote access to my home PC (which must run Windows, for business reasons), generally j… Continue reading Remote access to my home PC – minimizing the risk
I am new to this forum, so apologies in advance if this question does not seem to fall within its scope, or if it seems too long:
On two occasions over the past ~3 weeks, a hacker gained remote access to my laptop (PC runni… Continue reading Does this evidence seem consistent with an intrusion via the VNC server?
I am currently doing a proof-of-concept to remotely access a robotic arm at a client site through the internet. I got it working, using x11vnc to connect to the robot over the Local network but now I have to look into the sec… Continue reading Is this enough Security for a Remote Access Robot
I’m have been playing with nmap for the last week and I can see that with nmap I can find Windows Server IPs and I can connect to them. Is there any way to scan only home IPs and not Windows Server’s RDPs?
Continue reading I want to scan public (home) IPs not rdps with nmap
Many years ago, in a rainy concrete jungle on the west coast of Australia, I worked for a medium-sized enterprise doing a variety of office-based tasks. Somehow, I found myself caught up in planning a product launch event outside the official remit of my position. We got through it, but not before the audiovisual (AV) setup of the event turned into one giant hack.
The initial planning stages went remarkably smoothly until less than a month out from the big day when three weeks of frantic changes and revisions to the presentation rained down. These were some of the hardest …read more

OK, so this Question is kinda tricky. I’m working for a Company with heavy security protocols ( and no youtube… ), and I have a Cloud VM from Google that I would like to VNC to it so I could be free.
Now what I have done a… Continue reading Tunnel everything over HTTP [on hold]
Eager to get deeper into robotics after dipping my toe in the water with my BB-8 droid, I purchased a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. The first step was to connect to it. But while it has built-in 802.11n wireless, I at first didn’t have a wireless access point, though I eventually did get one. That meant I went through different ways of finding it and connecting to it with my desktop computer. Surely there are others seeking to do the same so let’s take a look at the secret incantations used to connect a Pi to a computer directly, …read more

If you are not within ear-shot of your Alexa Echo, Dot or Tap device and need to command it from anywhere in the world, you’d most likely use the handy mobile app or web interface to control it. For some strange reason, if you’d rather use voice commands from anywhere in the world, you can still do it using apps such as Alexa Listens or Reverb, among many others. We’d be the first ones to call these out and say “It’s not a hack”. But [pat dhens] approach is above reproach! He has posted details on how to Remote Control …read more

I am trying to use VNC to vnc4server from the Remmina client via an ssh tunnel. I establish the ssh tunnel with ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 user@remoteIp I have had successful VNC sessions to this server in the past. However I… Continue reading VNC connection failed: Too many security failures
If you’ve ever had the screen break on your laptop, you’ll know it can be rather annoying to have to use an external monitor for a while as you either wait for a replacement panel to arrive from the other side of the world, or wait for that new laptop you were just desperate for an excuse to upgrade to.
Spare a thought, then, for [tom bh] whose laptop screen broke while he was in Ladakh, Northern India. Two days bus ride from the nearest city in which he could hope to source a replacement part, he had to make …read more
