Telnet protocol is used to establish a connection to a remote host or server, allowing for a user to log in and interact with that remote system as if they were directly connected to it. Telnet provides a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection over TCP/IP. It’s traditionally used for remote command-line access, administrative tasks, and accessing network services, but it’s not secure for sensitive communications as it does not encrypt data, making it susceptible to interception. Secure Shell (SSH) is often used as a more secure alternative.
