World Of VNC

Did you read about the latest Wi-Fi Security Breach? The KRACK attack lets hackers sniff traffic between a computer and a wireless access point; which means they'd be able to steal data or even inject ransomware. Fun stuff!

The Internet is still the Wild West. Mostly because it's built on technology built by humans so, of course, it will be imperfect. Take World of VNC as another wonderful example. The author scanned the Internet looking for Virtual Network Computing (VNC) connections that did not have a password and then took a screenshot. Nothing nefarious there but there's a massive repository of personal desktops, odd software and open POS servers. It's fascinating and, fortunately, not malicious. I suggest Browsing the archive and just clicking through Randomly. There's a world of weirdness.
