'''VNC Resolver''', formerly known as "VNC Roulette" and "VNC Funland", is a tool that displays random insecure VNC servers. It is similar to sites like srsly.de, WorldofVNC, Shodan, and others. It was created in late 2015.
The first scan was done in December 2015. The latest scan was done on
You can browse the current scan by going [https://computernewb.com/vncresolver/browse/ here]. It is also available through [[CollabBot]] by typing +vnc.
'''VNC Resolver''' is currently a part of the CollabBot bot on the CollabVM Discord. It also has a web interface (linked above).
VNC Resolver works by portscanning the entire internet for various ports (usually 5900 - 5910, but smaller ASNs usually get more ports scanned), and then a script attempts to take a screenshot of the found servers. If it times out or is passworded, the server is skipped, but if a connection is successful, a screenshot is taken and it is added to the database.
The scripts for VNC Resolver were released on September 27, 2018 and may be downloaded [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/256538008126226432/511269629914513408/VNC-Scanner.7z here]. ('''WARNING''': Port scanning the entire internet WILL GET YOUR IP LISTED IN MOST MAJOR BLACKLISTS. This will likely cause you to be banned from certain sites. Many major ISPs across the world also ban portscanning entirely, and may terminate your service if they catch you. Use a VPS if you're going to run this.)
Following the incident, the VNC Roulette was shut down in order to make improvements, and it has returned sporadically, although usually going down for technical reasons.
Another incident occured on March 2, 2024 involving the [https://fedi.computernewb.com/@vncresolver/112026570733053536 VNC Resolver Mastodon bot], where an unknown user connected to a pool controller in Poland. They then, attempted to mess with the settings but then the device got DDoSed and [https://files.catbox.moe/2u2ejg.png it broke].
