Talking about security, there's one severe bug that needs to be corrected.
Months ago, someone reported that even though we could define a long password, but the
effective number of letters is only 8 (eight)!
I've tested with VNC 4b4 and the bug is still there. Could someone take a
look into it?
On the other hand, it would nice if it is possible to define the password
without GUI. Those who have used RSA would see what I'm thinking about. I'm thinking
about a similar system. On the server side, I could use an algorithm to generate a
random password every n minutes for VNC. On the client side, I could use the same
algo to give me the password. This way, brute force hacking risk could be reduced
tremendously.
