CheckRide open source remote support tool based on UltraVNC

Post by BigChimip »

I've written a helpdesk program that lets you take over a person's desktop: CheckRide:
https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/checkride/

Yes, yet another tool.

Why? Because I think these features are worth it:
  • Helped person just has to run the CheckRide program to connect; it runs UltraVNC with a reverse connection, so no fiddling with firewalls necessary.
  • Helper only has to forward a port on router and run CheckRideHelper
  • Encrypted connection: the UltraVNC connection is tunneled through an SSL/TLS tunnel for security (uses stunnel).
  • Checkride destination server/port can be changed by: 1. distributing checkride.conf with checkride.exe, 2. modifying embedded checkride.conf using resource editor, 3. modifying embedded checkride.conf by recompilation
  • Helper program can be replaced by batch file/calling stunnel and vncviewer, useful if you're on Linux/OSX
  • Programmed in Lazarus/FreePascal
  • Open source (MIT) license for wrapper program
Many thanks to the UltraVNC, stunnel Lazarus, FreePascal developers!

Updated programs:
  • command line options that specify which host/port to connect to override CheckRide.conf file
  • added menus, readme, license info to CheckRide and CheckRideHelper
  • added external IP and portscan my external IP buttons to CheckRideHelper: helper can more easily check IP address and port status

Another update: use medium speed quickmode, which will probably help a lot with slower connections.
