Scott, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by "connects to the VNC Server with some NULL characters at initiation". Obviously, if you try to talk something other than RFB to a VNC Server then it won't authenticate you, but I assume that's not what you mean!
As described previously, an authentication failure for the purposes of the "too many security failures" message is any connection that was made to the server that did not get past the authentication stage successfully. The first connection from a particular address that does authenticate successfully will reset the authentication failure count for that address.
