Telnet

Telnet (sometimes stylized TELNET^[1]) is a client-server application protocol that provides access to virtual terminals of remote systems on local area networks or the Internet.^[2] It is a protocol for bidirectional 8-bit communications. Its main goal was to connect terminal devices and terminal-oriented processes.^[1]

The name "Telnet" refers to two things: a protocol itself specifying how two parties are to communicate and a software application that implements the protocol as a service.^[2] User data is interspersed in-band with Telnet control information in an 8-bit byte oriented data connection over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Telnet transmits all information including usernames and passwords in plaintext so it is not recommended for security-sensitive applications such as remote management of routers.^[2]^[3] Telnet's use for this purpose has waned significantly in favor of SSH.^[4] Some extensions to Telnet which would provide encryption have been proposed.^[5]
