Telnet protocol is used to establish a connection to a remote computer or network equipment over the internet or local area networks. It allows a user to log into another computer/device and manage it as if the user were physically present at the terminal. Telnet is often used for administrative tasks, including configuring network devices or servers and accessing applications and data. However, because it sends data, including passwords, in plain text without encryption, it is considered insecure for use over public networks and has largely been replaced by SSH (Secure Shell) for secure remote login and command execution.
