TELNET SERVER
Telnet is nothing but a protocol was invented in 1969 used to take remote of systems over Network in text
mode or command mode as it is not supports GUI (Graphical User Interface). There are two instances of
Telnet i.e. Telnet Server and Telnet Client. So the concept is you can take the remote console of Telnet
Server from client using telnet tools like putty or you can use Command prompt if you are using
Windows Operating System. The port number of Telnet is 23. Telnet is no doubt a useful tool but has one
major disadvantage is the data transfer over network by telnet is in non-encrypted manner i.e. in Plain
Text which is Risky in case of Confidential Data.
