Obligatory: Telnet is better than netcat for interactive logins, but SSH is even better than Telnet for that. So don't use Telnet.

- bdowling 3y agoAgreed. It's pretty rare to use Telnet these days. The exception is when you have to connect to devices like automation equipment, test equipment, admin ports on LAN switches, etc. Those devices shouldn't be on the internet, so they're not as much of a concern.
