RfbProxy - How to use

Glad to write about a tool which I've experimented to record the remote screen and playback.

RfbProxy
    It helps connecting to a VNC server and record the changing contents of its screen to a file, play the recorded file, convert it to MPEG and some other formats.
    Though it doesn't support tight encoding, which is considered to be efficient and occupies low bandwidth when transferring the updates, it works well with the raw encoding.

FBS files

When you access the remote desktop with the help of VNC viewers, you might be in need of record the screen updates for future references. Most of the VNC viewers have the feature to record the screen updates into a file. These files can be

Rfb protocol - II

This article is about the different VNC protocol messages and the negotiations between the VNC server and client.

The negotiations between the server and client will be similar to the diagram given below,
