Command-Line Application

The `telnet' command line application is a simple TCP client that creates connections and sends and receives data for plaintext protocols.

Protocol

The telnet protocol is a plaintext protocol originally developed to provide remote-access for system administrators. On port 23, the telnet service would listen, prompt the user for authentication credentials, and then drop them into bash or MS-DOS.
