vnc

Use x11vnc for Kali (it just works)

Install

1. $ sudo apt-get install x11vnc
2. $ sudo x11vnc -storepasswd <YOURPASSWORDHERE> /etc/x11vnc.pass
3. Create the /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service file with:

   [Unit]
   Description="x11vnc"
   Requires=display-manager.service
   After=display-manager.service
   
   [Service]
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -display :0 -auth guess -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass
   Restart=on-failure
   Restart-sec=2
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

4. $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
5. $ sudo systemctl enable x11vnc
6. $ sudo systemctl start x11vnc

Connect

1. get the ip address of the server
2. Use the vnc password you setup, ip address, and default port (either :0 or :5900) with your VNC client of choice (RealVNC works well)
