The details of the vulnerability have not been released, but their website has a proof of concept that allows you to test your own VNC installation for the vulnerability"

    I mean, giving advice like that is fine, but unless you give us more information on how to set it up, you're basically just saying, "I'm so 1337 I know how to do this, and if you don't know how to do this you're not 1337 enough, newb!"
    Well, so, because I had an ok day today, I'll let you in in one of the best kept secrets of 1337n3ss: 1337 people use a little-known tool called Google. Actually, I am quite worried now that I've told you.
