x11vnc For Mac

x11vnc allows one to view remotely and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.

x11vnc has built-in SSL/TLS encryption and RSA authentication, including VeNCrypt; UNIX account and password login support; server-side scaling; single port HTTPS/HTTP and VNC; Zeroconf service advertising; and TightVNC and UltraVNC file-transfer.

x11vnc has also been extended to work with non-X devices: webcams and TV tuner capture devices, embedded Linux systems such as Qtopia Core, and natively on Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz. More features are described here.

x11vnc also provides an encrypted Terminal Services mode (-create, -svc, or -xdmsvc options) based on Unix usernames and Unix passwords where the user does not need to memorize his VNC display/port number.

Normally a virtual X session (Xvfb) is created, but it also works with X sessions on physical hardware. You may also see the tsvnc terminal services mode of the SSVNC viewer.
