Firewall settings need to allow the remote connection.You need to have the necessary permissions to access the remote computer.You need the IP address or the name of the remote machine you want to connect to.The client and server applications need to be installed and enabled.The remote computer must be turned on at all times and have a network connection.This command will tell you what ports are being used and by what, so pick something not on this list from the below command.Before you can establish a secure remote desktop protocol with a remote machine, there are a few basic requirements to meet: In fact, your better off checking first to see whats avalible. Here, though it may seem like you are doing ssh on localhost but your request would be forwarded to remote host Now do an ssh connection request from your machine to your own machine at port 5900: ssh -p 5900 Here is the command you want to use on the PI ssh -fN -R 5900:localhost:22 this ssh connection request originating from PI to your machine will make sure that any ssh connection request for port 5900 on your machine is forwarded to port 22 of the PI I use Parrot Security on my PI and with headless I use this method: The only way I think you can do it, is a reverse ssh shell to your pc from the PI. My xstartup file is this: #!/bin/shĪnd don't forget to launch vnc4passwd to set up the password on your VNC server.Īfter all of this, you can execute update-rc.d vncboot enable in order to set up the daemon to automatically start on reboot.įrom what I understand parrot has left remote connection out of its build so u cant be hacked in it.If its not a 2 way connection it blocks incoming requests for that connection. by default, on arm Parrot the Desktop Environment is Xfce, so you must change this file in order to get working. The problem using arm version of Parrot is that the /root/.vnc/xstartup default file is not working with its default config. Then, I created on /root/.vnc the empty file. You can view the code here: vnc daemon.Īs you can see in the code, I launch VNC server with root user which I think is not a good practice.

I installed vnc4server and did a daemon to easily start|stop|restart it. I recently bought a raspberry pi 3 and tried parrot.

anyway I saw is still not marked as resolved.

Not sure if is good idea to answer old threads.
