# FictusVNC Server
A minimal VNC server that serves a static image.
---
## July 8, 2025 Update
Shodan shadowbanned VNC services from their image feed (https://images.shodan.io/) and added official product recognition for FictusVNC: https://www.shodan.io/search?query=product:"FictusVNC"
Note: This affected ALL VNC services, not just FictusVNC.
Interestingly, it's now being classified as a honeypot - took them long enough to notice.
## ⚙️ Features
- 🖼 Serve static JPG & PNG as framebuffer
- 🖥 Supports RealVNC / UltraVNC / TightVNC clients
- 🛠 Configurable via `servers.toml`
- 📶 Multi-instance support (multiple ports/images)
- 💾 Cross-platform: Linux, Windows, macOS, ARM64
- 📉 Lightweight: ~2.8MB binary
