Author Information / Description
TightVNC 1.2 Binary Distribution for Windows platforms
======================================================

This distribution is mostly TridiaVNC 1.4.0 with new low-bandwidth
optimizations such as "tight" encoding, optional JPEG compression,
"local cursor" feature etc. These changes would be included in future
TridiaVNC releases. The main change between this release and TridiaVNC
CVS tree is re-inclusion of HTTP server serving Java viewer applet to
Web clients. Java viewer included in this version supports both tight
encoding and cursor shape updates ("local cursor" feature).

Files included in the release:

   Complete TightVNC server:  winvnc.exe, VNCHooks.dll
   TightVNC Viewer:           vncviewer.exe

This archive is an almost-complete reconstruction of the legendary Mega Security (also known as Kobayashi), a premier 90s-era "Trojan Database" where malware authors once showcased their work. After a decade offline, the site was brought back in August 2024 by its original creator, MasterRat, who authorized the Malware Gallery to host this modernized, searchable version of the collection. While the original site remains available for those seeking a nostalgic, old-school experience, we are proud to continue its legacy here. Full credit and thanks go to MasterRat and the retired Mega Security staff for their years of dedicated work in cataloging these historical samples.
