IPv6 with VNC and VNC Reflector security

Going thru my study notes and reviewing information about using Windows and Linux VNC applications with IPv6

1)Using IPv6 with VNC Enterprise Edition 4.1.7 / VNC Personal Edition 4.1.2
http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise/4.1/ipv6.html

2)TightVNC over IPv6 is an enhanced version of VNC downloads

3)VNC Reflector is a specialized VNC server which acts as a proxy sitting between real VNC server (a host) and a number of VNC clients (Security)

Linux Network Code: Big Endian and Little Endian Snack

The TCP/IP protocol is "Big Endian"processing. How does a "little endian" processor read the packets sent from "Big Endian"?

Little Endian reads CPU register value (backwards or bottom-to-top)

Big Endian reads CPU register value (forwards or top-to-botom)

This means Byte Order "functions" are needed to switch (convert) between big endian and little endian.

Linux, BSD and Solaris use the following functions:

hton = host-to-network
ntoh = network-to-host

s = short = 16 bit integer
l = long = 32 bit integer
ll= double = 64 bit integer

Function Code Sample:

htons()
htonl()
htonll()

ntohs()
ntohl()
ntohll()


This means if the routing processor is "Big endian" and the sending or receiving processing code is "Little Endian" The above byte order "functions" are required to switch (convert) between Big Endian and Little Endian. If no Byte Order "Function" is present then it will arrive as unreadable garbage to the processor.


Hope you enjoyed this Linux Network Code snack!

Security network weapon of mass instruction

Icons.apnic.net has current and legacy IPv6 information links. What makes the site special? The current updates and contributions from networking specialist are valid with substance.

For example the following link was from Icons.apnic.net.
The U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE High Performance Computing Modernization Program
Information Assurance Awareness Course  

This course was so nicely done, I decided to give a visual summary video of less than 60 seconds.

Enjoy!
