I'm not sure what this means ; SSH isn't used to attack anything as far
as I know.

I think that you need a sshd on the machine with the VNC server
[actually it could be on any machine on your lan that you can reach].

Then from a.n.other machine (remotebox), you ssh serverbox
-Lxxxx:vncbox:vncport

You can then use vncviewer to connect to a 'server' at localhost port
xxxx and ssh will forward the traffic to the vnc server.

At the vncbox end, close off the real VNC ports at your firewall and
just leave 22 open.

Pictorally:

                                                forward
Remotebox(22) ----> INTERNET ----> (22)serverbox ----- > (vncport)vncbox
^
xxxx <--- vncviewer remotebox port xxxx

As said, serverbox and vncbox need not be the same machine, but they can
be.

Hope it helps.

Actually after I read it again, it probably won't. Much.
