Salamander Control Suite (SCS)

SCS is a utility to ease the use of VNC on large networks. I wrote it while working as a developer for a small(ish) company where a VNC server was installed on every desktop. Whenever the support guys needed to VNC to one of the machine they'd ask the user to get their IP. In most cases this turned into a 5 minute conversation and was a major waste of time and a real hassle for the users.

At the time I was just getting into C# in a big way and I set about writing a tool to solve this problem. SCS is the result. I had plans to take it to production quality after adding some bells and whistles with a view to either selling it or releasing the source. Unfortunately I've not been able to find the time, and I actually left that company nearly 3 years ago and no longer have any interaction with VNC. So I've decided to release the source anyway in case it's useful to anyone.

Download

No binary available right now. I may get around to packaging one up, but don't hold your breath.

Features

Note that the host list and password cache is stored in config.xml in plain text which makes it very insecure. This is far from ideal and securing that was high on the list of outstanding features.

Requirements

Todo

This list is not extensive and just covers the basics I thought would be needed before releasing it.
